Since overlayfs is now part of the mainstream kernel, it makes sense to take advantage of it to speed up the container creation process. This patch implements a base container to be used in the container creation process if 'overlayfs' is set as the container backing store. Change-Id: I20123b83af10c0890f4d5945b9fb230acd664213

features:
|
|
- The container cache preparation process now allows ``overlayfs`` to be set
|
|
as the ``lxc_container_backing_store``. When this is set a base container
|
|
will be created using a name of the form
|
|
`<linux-distribution>`-`distribution-release>`-`<host-cpu-architecture>`.
|
|
The container will be stopped as it is not used for anything except to be
|
|
a backing store for all other containers which will be based on a snapshot
|
|
of the base container. The ``overlayfs`` backing store is not recommended
|
|
to be used for production unless the host kernel version is 3.18 or
|
|
higher.
