LXCFS 3.1.2 has been released

24.07.2019

Introduction

The LXCFS team is pleased to announce the release of LXCFS 3.1.2!

We had to re-roll the 3.1.0 release twice, first because of a bad Makefile causing an invalid release tarball to be generated, then again to fix an upgrade issue affecting some users of LXCFS 3.0.4

New features

Add support for per-container cpu usage in /proc/stat

Newer LXCFS releases make it possible to virtualize cpu usage per container by using the cpuacct cgroup.

Add support for load average (loadavg) virtualization

LXCFS now supports virtualizing /proc/loadavg. It will calculate the loadavg for a container based on the cpu cgroup.

Display cpus in /proc/cpuinfo based on cpu quotas

LXCFS will virtualize the cpus displayed in /proc/cpuinfo using the cpu cgroup and quotas calculated there.

Allow to disable swap in /proc/meminfo output

This adds the -u option to disable swap info output in /proc/meminfo.

Virtualize /sys/devices/system/cpu/online

LXCFS now also partially virtualizes sysfs. The first file to virtualize is /sys/devices/system/cpu/online per container.

Enable higher precision output in /proc/uptime

The calculations for /proc/uptime are now more correct.

Add support for FUSE nonempty option

The lxcfs binary can now be passed the -d option. When passed, lxcfs will also start when the mountpoint is not empty.

Support and upgrade
