[Request]: Add drivers to container volume for network NFS or SMB shares #1413

Description

@tonycoco

Feature or enhancement request details

For example:

  • container volume create --driver smb ...
  • container volume create --driver nfs ...

Create the SMB volume once:

  container volume create --driver smb \
    --opt share=//server/share \
    --opt username=user \
    --opt password=secret \
    myshare

Use it exactly like any other named volume:

  container run -v myshare:/data alpine ls /data

or with container create:

container create -v myshare:/data --name mycontainer alpine

This would make mounts not hop in the virtiofs.
