We run a ( sort of ) unconventional FS layout with aufs.
bind-mount aufs
/var/lib/lxc/container <------- /disk1/container<----+----+ base
|
+----+ delta
The container is then started as usual with lxc-start. `/disk1` and
`/var/lib/lxc` are ext4 disks.</span></font></pre><pre><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Daniel.

>>Hi all,
>>
>>We encounter a bug today when one of our systems enter soft-lockup when we try to start a container. Unfortunately at that
>>point, we have to do a power cycle because we can’t access the system anymore. Here is the kernel.log:

>>[...]
>>
>>After this point, it seems that all lxc-start will fail,but the system continues to run until we power-cycled it.
>>
>>When i inspected some of the containers that were started during that time, i saw that one of them has an existing
>>lxc_putold directory ( which should be removed when the container finished starting up right ? ). However, i'm not sure if that
>>is related to the lockup above.

>>The host is running on a 12.04 ec2 server, with lxc 1.0.0 and kernel 3.13.0-12.32
