Not sure what's up with this, but on my ubuntu 12.04.1 system, lxc-start-ephemeral seems to trip over its shoelaces: $ lxc-start-ephemeral -o precise5-ubu10 Setting up ephemeral container... mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/rootfs': Permission denied mount: mount point /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/rootfs does not exist cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/config': Permission denied cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/fstab': Permission denied cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/rootfs.hold': Permission denied sed: can't read /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/fstab: No such file or directory sed: can't read /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/config: No such file or directory sed: can't read /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/rootfs/etc/hostname: No such file or directory sed: can't read /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/rootfs/etc/hosts: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/fstab': No such file or directory /usr/bin/lxc-start-ephemeral: line 160: /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/fstab.old: Permission denied mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/config': No such file or directory /usr/bin/lxc-start-ephemeral: line 160: /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-ZXnntF1/config.old: Permission denied Starting up the container...
And then it hangs. Adding a sudo to that mkdir gets rid of a couple errors, but then I still see $ lxc-start-ephemeral -o precise5-ubu10 Setting up ephemeral container... cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/config': Permission denied cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/fstab': Permission denied cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/rootfs.hold': Permission denied sed: can't read /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/fstab: No such file or directory sed: can't read /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/config: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/fstab': No such file or directory /usr/bin/lxc-start-ephemeral: line 160: /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/fstab.old: Permission denied mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/config': No such file or directory /usr/bin/lxc-start-ephemeral: line 160: /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-G5kNWUW/config.old: Permission denied Starting up the container... and it still hangs. Running with bash -x shows: ... + sudo cp /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/fstab /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/fstab.old + sudo tee /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/fstab /usr/bin/lxc-start-ephemeral: line 160: /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/fstab.old: Permission denied + '[' -n '' ']' + c=/var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/config + sudo mv /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/config /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/config.old + sudo tee /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/config /usr/bin/lxc-start-ephemeral: line 160: /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/config.old: Permission denied + sudo rm -f /var/lib/lxc/precise5-ubu10-temp-UZ8wtxV/config.old + start_container ... Mysterious. Whereas just running the whole script as root works. Maybe it's time to purge all the sudo's out of it. Or maybe the great initctl explosion of '12 has messed with my machine... - Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
