libvirt users - Dec 2011 - tmpfs mounts for lxc container

I intend to share a single read-only filesystem root among a number of
LXC containers.

With lxc-tools, I can specify tmpfs bind mounts within the container,
for directories that need to be writable, like /var/run and /var/lock.

Is there a simple way to do this with libvirt, or do I need to mount the
tmpfs in the host first, and specify it as a filesystem in the xml?


Cheers,

At this point in time you need to create the FS in the host and export
it via the XML
