** Description changed:

  setup_kmsg is a convenience to have container syslog messages (generated
  by userspace) directed at the console.  However it fails the container
  must not fail to start.
+ 
+ ========================
+ SRU Justification
+ Impact: certain containers will fail to start
+ Development fix: if /dev/kmsg could not be set up, don't fail container 
startup
+ Stable fix: same as development fix
+ Test case:
+       sudo lxc-create -t sshd -n ssh1
+       sudo lxc-start -n ssh1
+ Regression potential: containers can run fine without setup_kmsg() having 
run, so allowing container startup to proceed when setup_kmsg() fails should 
introduce no regression.
+ ========================

** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu Quantal)
       Status: Triaged => In Progress
