[Lxc-users] [PATCH] multiple mods to lxc-clone

* allow cloning of non-snapshot lvm devices
   * if no -s then create a copy of the lvm block device and copy data
from the orig to the new container device
   * first take a snapshot, then use this snapshot to copy data,
remove  snapshot after done
 * if orig container is running freeze it while copying
   * in case lvm block device, the container is only frozen during
creation of snapshot ~1 sec
 * use rsync -ax insted of cp -a
   * in case copying a live contrainer it won't copy runtine mounted
files such as /proc, /sys and some /dev
 * new opts
   * fstype: type of fs for the newly created lvm device in case of
non-snapshot lvm
   * lvprefix: prefix for new lvm device name.
 * do not delete the lines lxc.mount by default
   * check is fstab exists then copy it
   * only modify lines that contain "lxc.mount =", debian template
seems to not have that line but uses lxc.mount. lines which get
screwed
