-Traditional containers use a very simple storage model, only allowing
-a single mount point, the root file system. This was further
-restricted to specific file system types like 'ext4' and 'nfs'.
-Additional mounts are often done by user provided scripts. This turend
-out to be complex and error prone, so we try to avoid that now.
-
-Our new LXC based container model is more flexible regarding
-storage. First, you can have more than a single mount point. This
-allows you to choose a suitable storage for each application. For
-example, you can use a relatively slow (and thus cheap) storage for
-the container root file system. Then you can use a second mount point
-to mount a very fast, distributed storage for your database
-application.
-
-The second big improvement is that you can use any storage type
-supported by the {pve} storage library. That means that you can store
-your containers on local 'lvmthin' or 'zfs', shared 'iSCSI' storage,
-or even on distributed storage systems like 'ceph'. It also enables us
-to use advanced storage features like snapshots and clones. 'vzdump'
-can also use the snapshot feature to provide consistent container
-backups.
-
-Last but not least, you can also mount local devices directly, or
-mount local directories using bind mounts. That way you can access
-local storage inside containers with zero overhead. Such bind mounts
-also provide an easy way to share data between different containers.
