I may have solved the problem after re-installing the server. Before upgrading to 14.04 I made sure to check if Ubuntu Saucy container starts and it did. Then I upgraded to 14.04 and created new Ubuntu Trusty container. Both Saucy and Trusty containers started properly, although both output some errors which I believe is normal.
Then I started re-applying all the changes I had made previously before re-install. A problem appeared after I edited fstab to add nodev/noexec/nosuid mount options. I already knew that I couldn't use noexec for /var, but now both Ubuntu containers refused to even try to start if I had nodev and nosuid mount options for /var. Debian Wheezy container does start even with nodev and nosuid mount options. Before re-install I had created symlinks to point from /var/lib/lxc to /srv/lxc and /srv did not have these mount options. This might explain the difference in what happened when I started the containers before and after re-install. So apparently I can't use nodev and nosuid mount options for /var even if I use another partition without these mount options by using symlinks. Meanwhile, Debian containers worked all this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294284 Title: LXC Ubuntu containers do not start in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1294284/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
