What about a directory of directories? For something like containers,
you want to bind-mount a directory on the host system into the
container's space. It seems reasonable to have a directory of, for
example, copies of var for each of your container. For example:
/var/lib/containers/var/{mycontA,mycontB}/{lib,spool,cache,...}
^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
| | |
Pool ----------------+ | |
Volume ---------------------+ |
Volume -----------------------------+
I haven't read anything in my skimming that leads me to believe that
anything in the infrastructure you're adding would prevent such an
implementation down the road, but I just thought I'd bring it up.
