[lxc-users] Using lxc-copy snapshots with overlayfs

[John]

I have a linux container "base" that I snapshot using /usr/bin/lxc-copy for various containers using overlayfs like so: lxc-copy -n base -N snapshot1 -M -s -B overlayfs
Can I start the "base" container while the snapshots are running?  My goal is to update packages in the base image without disturbing the overlayfs clones.  I read in some guides on this topic that the readonly base image should not be running while clones are running.
