</div></div>Ah right, I remember debugging this and tracking it down to a regression<br>
in "su" but never bothered to fix it in 13.04 as another kernel bug was<br>
leading to loop devices leakage.<br>
<br>
My plan is to essentially rewrite Arkose to use the LXC API and extend<br>
the API to cover all the cases I care about.<br>
<br>
However for 13.04, you're a bit stuck. You can try to directly patch<br>
/usr/bin/arkose, changing the "su %s -c \"command\"" call by something<br>
like "sudo -u %s \"command\"" which workaround that su behaviour change<br>
but if you hit the same bug I did, you'll be limited to 7 run of arkose<br>
per boot of your machine due to that weird loop device kernel bug.<br>
