Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lxc
lxc-start fails with the error message "lxc-start: failed to pivot_root to ..." if lxc.rootfs is separate from the root file system. It is common for /var to not be the same file system as /, and in these cases /var is typically larger and contains, among other things, the rootfs for the containers. This is described in full detail in the thread http://www.mail- archive.com/lxc-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00261.html. This is fixed by downgrading or upgrading, neither of which is available for LTS. ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772180 Title: lxc-start fails to pivot_root if rootfs is a separate file system -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
