O_EXCL? AFAIK, nope.

Did not work, as lxc-create expects a lock on
/srv/lxc/${CONTAINER_NAME}/partial. Note that this file is outside of
/srv/lxc/locks.

It's been a decade or so since I touched any C code so I'll better
wait for your patch. But don't worry Serge, I'm not in a hurry.

Worst case, I can create the containers in some other directory and
then mv/rsync to the nfs mount point, ... or maybe try samba, but I
think it'll be overkill and I better avoid it.


Thanks!
Norberto
