[lxc-users] Cloning frozen containers

[Rory Campbell-Lange]

Hi.

I'd like to clone a frozen container (in this case running on btrfs).

This would be extremely useful for upgrade tests and so on. Stopping
some of our development servers to make a snapshot isn't really
feasible.

Thanks for any advice
Rory
