Description-en: FUSE based filesystem for LXC
LXCFS provides a FUSE based filesystem to improve the LXC experience
within the containers.
.
This filesystem offers both a cgroupfs-like view for use by
unprivileged containers which wouldn't otherwise be allowed to mount
cgroupfs. And a set of files that are meant to be bind-mounted over
their /proc equivalent to make them cgroup-aware.
