8.2.2 Setting up the File System for the Containers

Note

The LXC template scripts assume that containers are created in /container. You must edit the script if your system's configuration differs from this assumption.

To set up the /container file system:

Create a btrfs file system on a suitably sized device such as /dev/sdb, and create the /container mount point.
```
[root@host ~]# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb
[root@host ~]# mkdir /container
```

Mount the /container file system.

[root@host ~]# mount /dev/sdb /container

Add an entry for /container to the /etc/fstab file.

/dev/sdb      /container    btrfs    defaults   0 0
