Doh. I was using the lxc tools that came with my Ubuntu Lucid 'apt-get install lxc'. After sending my email I tried cloning the git repo from sourceforge, compiling from there, and now it just works.

I'm working on an app deployment platform that uses Supervisor (http://supervisord.org/) to start/stop processes. I'd like to have apps run in lxc containers to limit their filesystem access (and in the future, other resource consumption). I've got a script to start an app in an lxc, and it works from a bash prompt , but when I run the same script from Supervisor I get this: lxc-execute: failed to mount the console lxc-execute: failed to setup the console for 'testlxc' lxc-execute: failed to setup the container (I get the same error whether using lxc-execute or lxc-start.) Is it expected that some things that work from a console will fail when run non-interactively? Here's a sample lxc config that exhibits the problem: root@lucid64:/tmp# cat test.lxc lxc.utsname = testlxc lxc.mount.entry = /bin /tmp/testlxc/bin none bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry = /dev /tmp/testlxc/dev none bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry = /etc /tmp/testlxc/etc none bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry = /lib /tmp/testlxc/lib none bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry = /lib64 /tmp/testlxc/lib64 none bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry = /opt /tmp/testlxc/opt none bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry = /usr /tmp/testlxc/usr none bind 0 0 lxc.rootfs = /tmp/testlxc This script works on the command line but fails in Supervisor: root@lucid64:/tmp# cat start_ping.sh #!/bin/bash lxc-execute --name testlxc -f /tmp/test.lxc -- ping google.com And in case it becomes relevant, here's the Supervisor "program" section that configures running the script: [program:testlxc] command=/tmp/start_ping.sh autostart=true autorestart=true stdout_logfile=/tmp/ping.log user=root directory=/tmp/testlxc redirect_stderr=true Thank you for your help, Brent --------- Brent Tubbs [cid:imageb77dcd.png@e5c4ceeb.cd24419c] 285 Hamilton Avenue Suite #200 Palo Alto, CA 94301 brent.tu...@yougov.com<mailto:brent.tu...@yougov.com> http://www.yougov.com/
