I can't answer all of the questions, but the basic idea is that an LXC container could mount an iscsi target from inside the container with very little if any cooperation from the host's user space.
I believe other similar systems like nbd use ioctl's to configure such devices, but iscsi uses netlink which I believe is the krux of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1226855 Title: Cannot use open-iscsi inside LXC container To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1226855/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
