You mix up creating with booting. You ceate new containers with debootstrap and running debootstrap several times at the same time is not a good idea. My approach is another: I create ONCE an Ubuntu template (*) which I can then clone as much as I want. Example: root@vms1:/lxc# lxc -l container disk (MB) RAM (MB) start-PID status bunny - 0 0 running fex - 0 0 stopped ubuntu - 0 0 stopped vmtest8 - 0 0 running root@vms1:/lxc# lxc -C vmtest1 root@vms1:/lxc# lxc -l container disk (MB) RAM (MB) start-PID status bunny - 0 0 running fex - 0 0 stopped ubuntu - 0 0 stopped vmtest1 - 0 0 stopped vmtest8 - 0 0 running > Also, the creation time for the first container is pretty high (~8 > minutes) I can create Ubuntu untainers in less than 3 seconds with my methode.
