Inconsistent use of container
and instance
in instance configuration devices documentation

Documentation needs updating
The nouns
container
andinstance
are used interchangeably and inconsistently for the following device types:unix-char
unix-block
usb
unix-hotplug
The
usb
device type is supported for both containers and VM's, implying thatinstance
should be used when describing the device options. However,container
is used for options such asgid
,uid
, andmode
where thecontainer
condition is present.The
unix-char
,unix-block
, andunix-hotplug
device types are only supported for containers, implying thatcontainer
should be used when describing the device options. However, the wordinstance
is used for all device options.I think the best approach is to consistently use
container
for devices that are only supported for containers, and useinstance
for devices that are supported by both containers and VMs. For device options with thecontainer
condition present, the wordinstance
should still be used.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
