[PATCH] Add support for RAM filesystems for LXC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce a new syntax for filesystems to allow use of a RAM
filesystem

   <filesystem type='ram'>
      <source usage='1024'/>
      <target dir='/mnt'/>
   </filesystem>

The usasge is in KB to limit consumption of host memory.

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document new syntax
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng: Add new attributes
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parsing/formatting of RAM filesystems
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Mounting of RAM filesystems
