At present it isn't populated. In fact, there isn't a whole lot of
tight integration <br>
between the FDS and Posix schema at present. I'd expect that to change
in <br>
the future though. For now you will need to populate the Posix schema
yourself<br>
(or with a script).<br>

Containers are not created automatically. (That's what the doc is
trying to say ;)<br>
