2012-10-24 19:29:56 Serge Hallyn description Because devtmpfs is now mounted in containers, and /dev/shm is a symlink in devtmpfs, lucid containers now fail to start. Because devtmpfs is now mounted in containers, and /dev/shm is a symlink in devtmpfs, lucid containers now fail to start. ====================================== SRU Justification: 1. Impact: newly created lucid containers cannot be started, and changes in the container's /dev are seen in the host's /dev. 2. Development fix: devtmpfs is removed from the container fstabs 3. Stable fix: same as development fix 4. Test case: 1. sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n l1 -- -F -r lucid 2. sudo lxc-start -n l1 -d 3. sudo lxc-ps -n l1 Only three tasks will show up in lxc-ps, because lxc-start will hang at mountall when failing to mount /dev onto a symbolic link (/dev/shm). 5. Regression potential: This will require workarounds in the cloud images (which recently stopped including a populated /dev, and will need to do so again). That will be fixed by utlemming by Oct 25. It also regresses a bug in grub updates in containers. This will need to be worked around by having update-grub detect that it is in a container, and not fail due to non-existing /dev/root in that case. ======================================
