[lxc-devel] Change rootfs pinning mechnism

[Serge Hallyn]

Quoting Jäkel, Guido (G.Jaekel at dnb.de):

Therefore, one have to take care of this (i.e. exclude) if he make a copy of such (for the purpose of cloning or even for backups). This isn't a LXC-, but a NFS-caveat. An NFS-aware will (should) know about to deal with this but there he should have to know (by the documentation) that LXC will use this unlinking mechanism to correlate this stale handle.

Will it use the same name every time?  Will it eventually go away?

I really don't want a new switch for this.  If we have to do something
I'd rather detect nfs and do something different.
