Attachments: Detect libvirt LXC

Detect libvirt LXC

detect_container function expects "/proc/1/environ" to contain a line starting with "container=lxc", which is not there if container is run from libvirt.
The solution is to check for LIBVIRT_LXC_ anvironment variables, which attached patch does.
Comment 1 Lennart Poettering 2012-01-24 10:51:18 UTC 
libvirt upstream has agreed to set container=lxc now, too, and I think that's the better place to fix it. Hence, closing.
Comment 2 Eric Blake 2012-01-24 11:08:08 UTC 
The libvirt fix won't be present until libvirt 0.9.10; you can track it here:

Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2012-01-24 11:20:19 UTC 
Or actually, upstream decided to go for container=lxc-libvirt, which is even nicer.
