Comment 17 for bug 1555760

I don't have the error "Too many levels of symbolic links" when doing an "ls" command but I do have a problem using "df" on Xenial after installing Openstack with lxd using "conjure-up"

"df" works fine, but after a reboot, it hangs.

A "strace df" shows that it hangs at doing :
..
stat("/sys/fs/cgroup/memory", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
stat("/sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
stat("/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
stat("/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc",

$ systemctl status proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount

My workaround is to perform the following command at every reboot :
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure binfmt-support
