Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I use this box as a compile host for two other boxes on the LAN. From each of |
| 4 |
those I NFS-export $PORTDIR to a chroot jail on this box, run portage etc. in |
| 5 |
the jail as needed and then install the binaries on the smaller boxes. |
| 6 |
|

Recently there've been several mentions of containers instead of chroots, and |
| 8 |
before I put too many hours into trying them I'd like just a little help, |
| 9 |
please, |
| 10 |

The Gentoo containers guide[1] says: "Do not mount parts of external |
| 12 |
filesystems within a container, except ro (read only)." (This is under |
| 13 |
Limitations of LXC). My question is whether "external" means "outside the |
| 14 |
container but on the same machine" or absolutely any file system not in the |
| 15 |
container. In the latter case I wouldn't be able to use the NFS-mounted remote |
| 16 |
directories, so I'd be wasting time and energy trying to make it work. |

Can anyone answer this? |
