Many thanks Fajar. I am trying to build a new CentOS 6 image, but when I
try to launch my lxc guest via virt-manager stops in "Enabling
/etc/swaps: [OK]" ... and no go.
My lxc guest fstab is:
rootfs / tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
