Hi I've began to experiment with lxc by running a ubuntu 12.04 minimal installation(console-only) inside virtualbox. The default templates(contained in the lxc distro package) run just fine, but I'm having trouble getting a simple archlinux container to run. I have searched the web for a solution and I guess the problem is related to systemd, but I couldn't find a solution/workaround that works so far. Here is how I create my archlinux container(these commands can be run on a fresh ubuntu 12.04 minimal install):
apt-get install lxc mkdir -p /var/lib/lxc/arch/rootfs wget http://tokland.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/archlinux/arch-bootstrap.sh ./arch-bootstrap.sh /var/lib/lxc/arch/rootfs mount -t proc none /var/lib/lxc/arch/rootfs/proc mount -t sysfs none /var/lib/lxc/arch/rootfs/sys mount -o bind /dev /var/lib/lxc/arch/rootfs/dev mount -o bind /dev/pts /var/lib/lxc/arch/rootfs/dev/pts chroot /var/lib/lxc/arch/rootfs Inside the chroot: pacman-key --init # to make this work I keep running commands that generate entropy in other consoles(cat /usr/bin/* > /dev/null &) until this completes pacman-key --populate archlinux pacman -Syu pacman -S base base-devel (excluding some uneeded packages such as 'linux') Now I configure some basics (locale, timezone, vconsole) just like I would configure a new archlinux system, exit the chroot and unmount /dev, /dev/pts, /proc and /sys After the install I create two files in /var/lib/lxc/arch: config: ---- lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/arch/rootfs lxc.fstab = /var/lib/lxc/arch/fstab ---- and fstab: ---- proc proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 sysfs sys sysfs defaults 0 0 ---- Then I try to start: lxc-start -n arch And then the console hangs with no output(ctrl+c doesn't work, I have to go to another tty and type 'lxc-stop -n arch') Does anyone knows a way to make a recent version of archlinux(based on systemd) run under ubuntu 12.04? I dont care much for security so any workarounds are appreciated. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
