Hi, Is this a simple problem, or does it indicate I'm so far from configuring this right that I should move on to other means for a time and let the containers project mature to where the paths have become better trod?
It seems I've almost got the container started: # lxc-start -n centos5 /bin/bash [r...@centos /]# But as soon as I type anything at that prompt: [1]+ Stopped lxc-start -n centos5 /bin/bash And the process is still running. Various bad states of the system follow from that. In one an "exit" is entered at the host prompt, not by me, which gets a "There are stopped jobs" message - the lxc-start of course. In another hitting return repeatedly can produce this pattern: r...@black:~# [r...@centos /]# r...@black:~# [r...@centos /]# r...@black:~# [r...@centos /]# each line being two returns, and anything else typed after [r...@centos /]# logging my out of my ssh session into the host. In another variant the terminal on the host stops doing returns - runs the lines on. There's nothing useful in the logs of the host or guest (and I've tried it with the guest's logging both on and off). On the one hand, I realize the lxc project is low profile because it's still in such an early state. On the other, containers would be perfect for the internal, non-production testing systems we need here just now, and for production uses once it gets to 1.0 and is better proven. But I don't know whether I'm 30 minutes away from having containers work well enough to get on with using them, or if it would take another week of muddling. Not that I don't enjoy sharpening my sometimes-rusty skills; just that my employer might question my productivity round about next week.... Anyway the goal is an Ubuntu 10.04 host, with latest stable kernel.org kernel and latest lxc and iproute, to run Centos5 containers. All advice welcome.
