@saehejkang you mentioned that you'd like to learn more about containerization?

If you implement apple/containerization#660, we should be able to get guaranteed-correct --live snapshots for both container export and container commit.

Yep! I can work on that issue before doing container export and container commit.

Thinking more on this, what is the rationale for --live? Today we don't have commit at all right? I'd think it'd be much easier to just freeze the cgroup for the container (so nothing can write to the block dev anyways) than freeze the blockdev itself.

Yes there is no commit command at the moment.
