Subject: [Beaker-devel] Accessing entire host OS from a container
From the Docker 1.1 release notes
(
http://blog.docker.com/2014/07/announcing-docker-1-1/):
* / is now allowed as source of --volumes. This means you can bind-mount
your whole system in a container if you need to.
This seems like a potentially useful feature when it comes to running
test harnesses in a container.
Thanks for sharing. I can see the usefulness for us, obviously. However, I can
imagine containers having their files in /var, /run of the host all over, unless
they are mounted read-only and the process in the container doesn't need to write
anything there.
