Hi there, This is what happens on a freshly installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat (2.6.35):
# lxc-version lxc version: 0.7.2 # mkdir /lxc # /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-ubuntu -p /lxc ..... I: Retrieving tar I: Validating tar I: Retrieving tzdata I: Validating tzdata I: Retrieving udev ..... Please change root-password ! # ls config fstab rootfs # cat config lxc.utsname = xxx lxc.tty = 4 lxc.pts = 1024 lxc.rootfs = /lxc/rootfs lxc.mount = /lxc/fstab lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = a # /dev/null and zero lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:3 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:5 rwm # consoles lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:1 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:0 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 4:0 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 4:1 rwm # /dev/{,u}random lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:9 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:8 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 136:* rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:2 rwm # rtc lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 254:0 rwm # cat fstab proc /lxc/rootfs/proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 devpts /lxc/rootfs/dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 sysfs /lxc/rootfs/sys sysfs defaults 0 0 All was perfect so far. Now, this is the place where things become less beautiful: # lxc-execute -n xxx -f config /bin/bash r...@xxx:/# lxc-execute: Input/output error - failed to read r...@xxx:/# r...@xxx:/# exit [2]+ Stopped lxc-execute -n xxx -f config /bin/bash # fg lxc-execute -n xxx -f config /bin/bash # Note it somehow manages to send itself to background. lxc-start simply hangs. When /sbin/init is started with --verbose it says somewhere in the middle: init: mountall main process (3) executable changed init: hostname main process (4) terminated with status 1 init: hostname goal changed from start to stop Now, what's interesting, if I comment out the lxc.rootfs line in config, it gives me perfectly functional bash: # lxc-execute -n xxx -f config /bin/bash r...@xxx:/lxc# pwd /lxc r...@xxx:/lxc# ps ax PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/lxc/lxc-init -- /bin/bash 2 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash 12 ? R+ 0:00 ps ax r...@xxx:/lxc# Even more interesting: if I add a line like "lxc.rootfs = /" to the config file ("/" is the default value, right?) it breaks again: # lxc-execute -n xxx -f config /bin/bash r...@xxx:/# lxc-execute: Input/output error - failed to read So my question is what I'm doing wrong? If that's not me, is it something fixed in 0.7.3?
