[conspire] backup: lxc and hot-plug usb storage

[Ivan Sergio Borgonovo]

I've to regularly backup on a hot-plugged usb drive on a lxc guest.

My plan was to use a udev event on the host to launch lxc-cgroup to make 
visible the usb device on the guest.
Then eventually send some event from the guest to the host to make the 
device invisible again.

Just mounting in the host and then bind mounting the partition in the 
guest has the disadvantage that the guest can't unmount the drive when 
finished to backup and has to delegate the action to the host

I'm still working on implementation details but it looks feasible.

I'm open to suggestions and even different approaches.
