Expanding a the discussion a little bit further, virt-install and virt-manager needs to be able to (at least): * Create simple bind mount configurations (for isolating one or a few of directories per container) * Create a full root file system for containers * Create/configure virtual network interfaces In a second phase we could tie in cgroups support. Does anyone have another use case? -- Cleber Rosa Solutions Architect - Red Hat, Inc.
