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.
