Thanks for the feature suggestion. That would indeed be useful. If I
understand you correctly, the configuration file would still be under
/var/lib/lxc/<container>, but only the rootfs would be moved?
Note that you can currently achieve this in a few ways.
You can use lvm backing stores with volume groups on several different
drives.
You can also create the container as usual,
lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p1
move the rootfs
mv /var/lib/lxc/p1/rootfs /mnt/
and then edit /var/lib/lxc/p1/config to set
lxc.rootfs = /mnt/rootfs
However, adding support for something like '-B dir --dir /mnt/rootfs'
to lxc-create would be doable and avoid the need for hand-editing the
container.
