I did, but it was a slightly older version from the ppa. Updating lxc and lxcfs to the one in trusty-backports, and then creating a new container, seems to have helped!
$ apt-cache policy lxcfs lxcfs: Installed: 0.11-0ubuntu3~ubuntu14.04.1 $ sudo lxc-create -t download -n ubu1510-x -- --dist ubuntu --release wily --arch amd64 ... $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem 250 65536 32 32768 $ ssh ubu1510-x $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem 250 65536 32 32768 I haven't figured out how to endow an old container with higher sem settings yet... diff on the config files and etc didn't immediately illuminate the way, as the old container's a bit dirty. But I can live with recreating them. Let's hope I'm not just short on coffee this morning, and this really did fix the problem :-) - Dan On Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 11:09 PM, Fajar A.
