[lxc-users] LXCFS installation effects

[Martín Fernández]

Stéphane,

Thank you very much for the quick reply!

What are you are saying is pretty awesome! That would make it super easy to start using it. Is there any constraint in terms of what versions of LXC are supported ? I can run LXCFS with LXC 1.0.10 ? 

In order to understand a little bit more about how LXCFS works, does LXCFS hook into LXC starting process and mount /proc/* files ?

Thank you very much again!

Best,
Martín
