2015-02-24importd: create a loopback btrfs file system for /var/lib/machines, if necessaryLennart Poettering
When manipulating container and VM images we need efficient and atomic directory snapshots and file copies, as well as disk quota. btrfs provides this, legacy file systems do not. Hence, implicitly create a loopback file system in /var/lib/machines.raw and mount it to /var/lib/machines, if that directory is not on btrfs anyway. This is done implicitly and transparently the first time the user invokes "machinectl import-xyz". This allows us to take benefit of btrfs features for container management without actually having the rest of the system use btrfs. The loopback is sized 500M initially. Patches to grow it dynamically are to follow.

This reverts commit 6a716208b346b742053cfd01e76f76fb27c4ea47. Apparently this doesn't work. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028212.html

No setuid programs are expected to be executed, so add SecureBits=noroot noroot-locked to unit files.

client to it The old "systemd-import" binary is now an internal tool. We still use it as asynchronous backend for systemd-importd. Since the import tool might require some IO and CPU resources (due to qcow2 explosion, and decompression), and because we might want to run it with more minimal priviliges we still keep it around as the worker binary to execute as child process of importd. machinectl now has verbs for pulling down images, cancelling them and listing them.
