Hi *, I just recently stumbled upon lxc and wanted to give it a go. My testplatform is a maverick. As various posts on the list show, there is an issue with /dev/pts or /dev/ptmx:
r...@sokka:~# lxc-start -n testlxc lxc-start: No such file or directory - failed to mount a new instance of '/dev/pts' lxc-start: failed to setup the new pts instance lxc-start: failed to setup the container lxc-start: invalid sequence number 1. expected 2 lxc-start: failed to spawn 'testlxc' lxc-start: Device or resource busy - failed to remove cgroup '/cgroup/testlxc' In order to use severeal instances of /dev/pts it was suggested that /dev/ptmx should be a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx. Obviously I tried that - but to no avail. Here are the respective directories on host and guest (still unlinked on the host although I have tried that already and I didn't work): r...@sokka:~# ls -la /dev/pts drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2009-04-09 02:33 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 3680 2010-10-16 08:34 .. crw--w---- 1 adtadmin tty 136, 0 2010-10-17 08:09 0 crw------- 1 adtadmin tty 136, 1 2010-10-17 08:09 1 c--------- 1 root root 5, 2 2010-10-16 08:34 ptmx r...@sokka:~# ls -la /dev/ptmx crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 2010-10-17 08:10 /dev/ptmx r...@sokka:/var/lib/lxc/testlxc/rootfs# ls -la dev/pts/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-10-16 08:16 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2010-10-16 08:16 .. crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 2 2010-10-16 08:03 ptmx r...@sokka:/var/lib/lxc/testlxc/rootfs# ls -la dev/ptmx lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2010-10-16 08:16 dev/ptmx -> pts/ptmx Could somebody please post his or her solution? How should the link (permissions, etc.) look like? Should it be on host or guest or both? Any hint is appreciated. Thx.
