This is something I previously submitted as part of one of the LXC
patches, but I figure it makes sense on its own, since OpenVZ needs
this now too.
This adds two new XML elements to the domain XML format:
- An <init> block within <os> allowing specification of the path for
a binary to run when starting the container - aka 'init' by any other
name. First we also specify that all containers will use an OS
type of 'exe' - as in executable - the container equivalent of 'hvm'
<os>
<type>exe</type>
<init>/sbin/init</init>
</os>
- An <filesystem> element for specifying how the container's filesystem
is to be provided. This can actually be useful for full-machine virt
too such as KVM which have host filesystem pass-through. There are
various ways to configure it:
eg to use '/some/directory' as the root filesystem for a container
<filesystem type='mount'>
<source dir='/some/directory'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
eg to use a template called 'fedora9web' as the root filesystem for
a container
<filesystem type='template'>
<source name='fedora9web'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
eg to use a file containing a filesystem as the root filesystem
<filesystem type='file'>
<source file='/some/file.img'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
eg to use a disk partition or other block device (eg LVM) containing
a filesystem as the root filesystem
<filesystem type='block'>
<source dev='/dev/VolGroup00/Fedora9Web'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
If setting the root filesystem, the target path will be '/', some
container based virt allows the host OS root filesystem to be
used in the guest, and merely specify additive mounts at specific
locations,
eg to override just /home within a container
<filesystem type='mount'>
<source dir='/some/directory'/>
<target dir='/home'/>
</filesystem>
I believe this should satisfy all the OpenVZ, LXC and Linux-VServer
drivers' requirements around filesystems
