Hmm, are you suggesting old kernels didn't virtualize reboot() in a PID namespace? Do you happen to know which version that was? Note that we don't support kernels older than 2.6.39 in systemd anyway, so if the change was older than that I am not too concerned... Also, the code I now added will first try reboot() and then fallback to exit() if it failed with EPERM and we are in a container. That means that the container tool can simply drop CAP_SYS_REBOOT from the container and the right thing will happen. > Can I hope that this will be backported to Fedora 17, in this way or > another? Hmm, I am usually quite conservative about that, but please create an rhbz ticket asking for that. Thanks!
