I don't quite get the point underlying Serge's preceding comment, so I'll describe the problem I'm experiencing with lxc and see whether Serge classifies it as a bug.
On an ubuntu-vivid (amd64) host, create an unprivileged vivid container named 'vivid', lxc-create -n vivid -t download -- -d ubuntu -r vivid -a amd64 Start and attach to the container and create foo/bar.txt . Stop the container. Then form a second container named vivid_overlay, lxc-clone -s -B overlayfs vivid vivid_overlay Start and attach to vivid_overlay. Delete bar.txt (this should succeed). Attempt to delete foo. I get "Operation not permitted", even as root in the container. The same issue arises if I replace the overlay container with an ephemeral container, lxc-start-ephemeral -o vivid -n vivid_ephemeral -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480411 Title: rm -r * fails to delete directories when using overlayfs in a user- namespace To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1480411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
