 Specifying the `--isolation` flag without a value is the same as setting `--isolation="default"`.

+### Dealing with dynamically created devices (--device-cgroup-rule)
+
+Devices available to a container are assigned at creation time. The
+assigned devices will both be added to the cgroup.allow file and
+created into the container once it is run. This poses a problem when
+a new device needs to be added to running container.
+
+One of the solution is to add a more permissive rule to a container
+allowing it access to a wider range of devices. For example, supposing
+our container needs access to a character device with major `42` and
+any number of minor number (added as new devices appear), the
+following rule would be added:
+
+```
+docker create --device-cgroup-rule='c 42:* rmw' -name my-container my-image
+```
+
+Then, a user could ask `udev` to execute a script that would `docker exec my-container mknod newDevX c 42 <minor>`
+the required device when it is added.
+
+NOTE: initially present devices still need to be explicitely added to
+the create/run command
