I am in the initial stage, of basically checking that lxc has all the
required features.

These are definitely very useful features for the integration.
Other useful things would be to be able to execute "other" commands in
the container, for example for shutting it down or providing a console
inside it (by executing a new shell inside it). Finally things like
multiple network interfaces and an arbitrary script to execute to
configure them (as kvm or xen do) would be useful too. I will be
submitting patches probably in june for some of these features (and in
the meantime proceed with the ganeti part of the code).

Thanks,

Guido
