You don't mention what kernel you are using, but this is probably due
to the maturity of your kernel; for example, the RHEL6 2.6.32 kernel
does not allow movement of physical devices into a network namespace.
As a test, try creating a VLAN device on your eth3, and configure your
container to use that device.
As a workaround, you could leave eth3 in the default namespace, attach
it to a bridge in the default namespace, create a veth pair, attach
one of the veths to your bridge, and push the other into your
container. A bit of work and overhead, but otherwise you may be
looking at a kernel upgrade.

Hello all
Using lxc since many months, i decided to add a network card on my host. I
thought it could be assigned to the lxc-guests i will create later.
But ... it doesn't work.
when i try to start the container i get this error:
root@p733:/opt/lxc/vm1733# lxc-start -n vm1733 -d -o /tmp/outvm1733
root@p733:/opt/lxc/vm1733# cat /tmp/outvm1733
lxc-start 1296908902.660 ERROR lxc_conf - failed to move 'eth3' to
the
container : Invalid argument
lxc-start 1296908902.660 ERROR lxc_start - failed to create the
configured network
lxc-start 1296908902.660 ERROR lxc_start - failed to spawn 'vm1733'
eth3 exists on the hosts (3 because i tried with another card before)
Here the guest config:
root@p733:/opt/lxc/vm1733# cat config
# Container with network virtualized using a physical network device with name
lxc.utsname = vm1733
lxc.network.type = phys
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = eth3
lxc.network.name = eth0
#lxc.network.hwaddr = 01:50:fc:45:6e:35
lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.0.69/24
This guest works fine with config veth (lxc.network.link= br0) but i should
like to understand...
Thanks

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
