  • Filesystem pass-through on lightweight virtual machine containers
    Patent number: 11816070
    Abstract: An example method for filesystem pass-through on lightweight virtual machine containers includes executing a container on a host, and creating a file system overlay in a local file system storage located on the host. The example method further includes copying files and directories into the file system overlay from a shared file system until the file system overlay is fully populated. The file system overlay is fully populated when all the files and directories from the shared file system are copied into the file system overlay. Once fully populated, completion is marked which indicates the file system overlay is fully populated, where marking the completion prevents accessing a read-only base image within the shared file system.
