add clonehostname hook This hook script updates the hostname in various files under /etc in the cloned container. In order to do so, the old container name is passed in the LXC_SRC_NAME environment variable.

implement loopback backing store Create a loopfile backed container by doing: lxc-create -B loop -t template -n name or lxc-clone -B loop -o dir1 -n loop1 The rootfs in the configuration file will be loop:/var/lib/lxc/loop1/rootdev Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com>

implement backend drivers and container clone API (v3) 1. commonize waitpid users to use a single helper. We frequently want to run something in a clean namespace, or fork off a script. This lets us keep the function doing fork:(1)exec(2)waitpid simpler. 2. start a blockdev backend implementation. This will be used for mounting, copying, and snapshotting container filesystems. 3. implement btrfs, lvm, directory, and overlayfs backends. 4. For overlayfs, support a new lxc.rootfs format of 'bdevtype:<extra>'. This means you can now use overlayfs-based containers without using lxc-start-ephemeral, by using lxc.rootfs = overlayfs:/readonly-dir:writeable-dir 5. add a set of simple clone testcases 6. Write a new lxc_clone.c based on api clone. Still to do (there's more, but off top of my head): 1. support zfs, aufs 2. have clone handle other mount entries (right now it only clones the rootfs) 3. python, lua, and go bindings (not me :) 4. lxc-destroy: if lvm backing store, check for snapshots of it. (what about directories which have overlayfs clones?) Changes since v2: Initialize random generator when picking new macaddr (reported by caglar@10ur.org) Fix wrong use of bitmask flags On copy-clone of btrfs, create a subvolume lxc_clone.c: respect the command line usage of the old script lxc-clone(1): update documentation Refuse to try changing backing stores expect to overlayfs, as it is not implemented (yet) anyway.

fix building docs Commit 69fe23ff added checking for the older docbook2man back into configure, but this breaks building the docs on at least Oracle Linux and Fedora when docbook2X is not installed as docbook2man will be found but the docs don't actually build with that tool. This change makes it so the docs can be built with either the older docbook2man or the newer 2X tools by using configure to set the dtd string to an appropriate value depending on use of docbook2man or db2x_docbook2man. Also fixed a small error in lxc-destroy.sgml.in that was noticed by the old tools. Signed-off-by: Dwight Engen <dwight.engen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com>
