I raised this issue back on 6th/7th December. It was a side-issue in a
discussion entitled "unable to run systemd in an LXC container". I have
always performed a destroy/create cycle to apply changes written to
/etc/lxc/mycontainer.conf. I was asked why I didn't edit in /var
directly and I replied that I treated the files created by LXC in /var
to be internal and have always used the destroy/create cycle for config
updates. There was talk of adding a -k (keep) option to lxc-destroy.
I have been working on other commitments and need to come back and
revisit this but it's good to see others have experienced the same
difficulty when this change in behaviour.
I would be interested in current thoughts.

RE: [Lxc-users] lxc-destroy erase rootfs As it's so easy to redo a
container I've come to love the lxc-destroy command.
Having said that, the huge pitfall is of course user expectation. The
first time I looked at it it did exactly what I wanted, not what I
thought it would do.

Actually neither xen, nor virsh destroys_data_ and until v0.7 (or v0.8?)
lxc does it only if it was
in /var/lib/lxc.
I'm and lxc user and that's why I'm surprised.
