[Bug 1515615] Re: Disk quotas don't work in LXC containers

[Serge Hallyn]

What do you mean by "not using real device"?  The real lvm device is
mounted into the container.  However actually offering the device node
into the container would not be a safe default.  In particular, it
allows the container admin to write nonsense onto the device node,
feeding garbage into the in-kernel filesystem driver, and most likely
either DOS or gain privilege on the host.

If root in the container is trusted, then it should be possible to work
this out, but frankly noone seems to have wanted this yet.

There is probably an easier way to achieve what you want.  For instance,
setting up quotas on the host for the container users/filesystems.
