Hi,

Just wondering if Linux-CR+LXC support FUSE or not, FUSE(
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/) is a pupular file system development platform
which is being widely used by lots of distributed file systems.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
-Jon.

No.  But there's nothing stopping it.  Each of the fuse filesystems
would have to define a fops->checkpoint() method.

In fact, I suspect for many if not most of the FUSE filesystems, the
all-purpose "generic_file_checkpoint()" would be sufficient. 

The only problem with doing that by default, is that it break silently
when used with those few that need more; i.e. checkpoint will work but
restart may not succeed later.
