[lxc-devel] Running windows over lxc

[clownix at clownix.net]

The idea works, you just have to make the /dev/kvm device
visible in the lxc with something like:

lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 10:* rwm"

The kvm device has a minor that could be detected before lxc configuration
to avoid the * giving the lxc visibility to all the miscellaneous devices.

Of course the kvm module must be inserted by host or lxc guest and
the /dev/kvm node must exist in the lxc guest file-system.

Mixing of virtualizations is good fun, I prefer making lxc containers in
a qemu-kvm virtualization...

Also qemu in qemu can be done thanks to the nested function of the kvm
module.


What is the difference between
    "windows in qemu in lxc"
and
    "windows in qemu"

Why would you want a windows, anyway ?
