Public bug reported: Hey,
Currently any service that has PrivateDevices=true set will fail to start in unprivileged containers since mknod is not possible and in privileged containers that drop CAP_MKNOD. I pushed a patch to systemd upstream that solves this problem and makes PrivateDevices useable in both scenarios. It would be great if this could be backported to Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. We already have a lot of users that would like this feature enabled/don't want to edit each service file: 16498617443da94533ef9ae28be0ffaace40c526 : https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/af984e137e7f53ca3e2fd885b03a25e17fdd0fad af984e137e7f53ca3e2fd885b03a25e17fdd0fad : https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/16498617443da94533ef9ae28be0ffaace40c526 Thanks!
