[Lxc-users] [Bulk] Re: Running an NFS server within LXC

[David Parks]

Now the KVM guest is intriguing, I don't need a powerhouse fileserver here,
just a few small files will be transferred regularly. 

None of the User Space NFS servers out there would compile for me.

I'm thinking I'll give the Gluster FS a try next, I guess, even being
overkill, it'll be easier than configuring KVM under an LXC container.

Great discussion, I appreciate all the ideas everyone!

Dave

You can do like this :

AFAIK, he wants to have NFS _server_ in container. Am I wrong?
