[lxc-users] Question on running 2 processes in 2 containers creating a lock file in /var/locks

[Serge Hallyn]

It's doable, but complicated by the fact that the container inits will
want to link /run/lock onto /var/locks, where /run is a tmpfs.  But
you can just add

lxc.mount.entry = /var/locks var/locks none bind,create=dir 0 0

to make the host /var/locks show up in the container.  Up to you do
then do the right thing with init :)
