Seems really dependent upon the container layout as to what's the most appropriate way of doing that. For instance, if the underlying fs of the source container is something like btrfs or zfs you could imagine doing a send/recv of a golden snapshot. Possibly also for an lvm volume/snapshot. For oth

In that case, you could also just do something like this: # for i in {u,s,b}; do echo $i > /proc/sysrq-trigger; done For "Remount read-only, Sync, (re)Boot". There are also hotkey sequences to do that (the modern equivalent of the three fingered salute) which might be more appropriate in the case
