<div dir="ltr">The host is running stripped down version of Red Hat 6.4 and container is running a bit different stripped down version of Red Hat 6.4. Both guest and the host are customized quite substantially so it would be difficult to list all the modifications. The container was created by extracting root file system from an ISO. The root file system is distributed in an ISO in an image file. I extracted the image file from the ISO, loopback mounted the image an copied entire file system to a new directory. I did not use lxc-create.<div>

</div>You don't want to run udevd in your container anyway - disable it.<br>
<br>
(To discuss any further we'd need to know more details about your setup -<br>
host distro/release and customizations, and how precisely the container<br>
was created.)<br>
