[lxc-devel] Strange problem (stray mounts) with lxc-create...

Hey all,

Since I'm working on testing a bunch of things, including the Fedora
templates, I've been creating and destroying a LOT of containers.  Every
once in a while I get a failure due to failure to mount on...  What I
find are a large number (half dozen or more) of dangling mounts like
this:

/dev/mapper/fedora-root on /usr/lib64/lxc/rootfs type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/mapper/fedora-root on /usr/lib64/lxc/rootfs type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)

What I'm finding is that, after running lxc-create, regardless of
template, I'm left with one more of these dangling mounts.  I can go
back and unmount them and then I can do more lxc-creates until it
happens again.  That's not referenced (afaict) anywhere in the Fedora
template and it's affecting all the templates that I can get to run on
Fedora.  Maybe we're not cleaning something up in there somewhere?

I'm running off the git master branch.

Regards,
Mike
