    Check enabled LXC features from INSIDE container?

    Given these two LXC features (keyctl and nesting): there is a way to programmatically query them from inside the container? I found /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested but unfortunately it returns "Y" for both nesting=0 and nesting=1 containers.

    When I create a LXC container I always see "nesting = true". At pve-docs I see nesting default to be 0 ("nesting = false"). Is this a case to report?

    Quotas are not supported by unprivileged containers - could this work with the new mknod=1 option?

    I am wondering what the underlying cause is that makes quotas not work in unprivileged containers? I see with the latest proxmox that we now have nesting=1 and mknod=1 so I am wondering if quotas in unprivileged container might be possible now.

    container features deployment limited to root

    I have recently began deployment of nested containers following an orderly upgrade to 5.3, when I noticed that only a root user may actually flag the features. What is the rationale for this limitation? What are the implications of setting these flags I'm not considering?
