 # This class manages the creation of a logical volume using the `lvm::volume` definition.
 #
+# For LXC hosts, this is replaced with a mount added from the host os. This class will simply check the
+# mountpoint exists.
+#
 # Parameters:
 #   $ensure   - Ensure whether the logical volume is present or not. Defaults to 'present'.
 #   $vg       - Volume group name. No default.
