I think Serge and I are both confused by what your doing and your
terminology.  You've got a non-standard setup you are using for some
purpose, and that's fine, but you're going to have to be more specific
and precise about what it is.

What version of LXC?
What distro (template) and revision was installed in that container?
What custom configuration changes have you made?
Are you running with autodev=0 or autodev=1?

It sounds like this "system disk" was created as an image file or
physical disk.  Which and how was it created?

From what you've now described, I would have expected it to work.  If
those symlinks already exist, there should have been no problem.  But
it's not clear what your doing so I'm uncertain why it's failing.

In your original post you state...

I don't understand this statement.  What are you doing "in order to make
it return EEXIST?"  Create the symlinks?  In your previous message, you
said the 4 symlinks already exist.  Ok...  Then what does this "I need
to manually access the /dev directory" mean?  What are you doing when
you do?
