+===== Mount external Dirs in Container =====
+The recommended way is to add the mountpoint with a relative path in the VS config:
+  lxc.mount.entry=/home/mountme home none bind,optional,relative,create=dir
+Under some cicumstances it does not work (in unprivileged containers), but this works:
+  lxc.mount.entry = /home/test /home/vservers/stretch/rootfs/home/test none bind 0 0
+Also check Permissions and Ownership. chown to the root ID inside the container.

 ===== brtfs snapshots =====
+the container must be stopped for a lxc-snapshot. use btrfs snapshot to backup running containers (mysql may get inconsitent)
 you need to create container with option  -B btrfs!!
