[Lxc-users] On clean shutdown of Ubuntu 10.04 containers

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Quoting Trent W. Buck (twb at cybersource.com.au):

Note that how to handle clean shutdown is one of the open topics.
So if you're interested in helping to properly fix that, please
feel free to join our development call this coming thursday morning,
as per announcement last week :)

IIRC Daniel L. had a kernel patch to help fix this workaround?  He
was experimenting with it at UDS-N.
