[Lxc-users] failed to create pty #0

Hi Daniel,

I have tracked down this issue somewhat. It seems to be caused by shutting
down a container (not by lxc-stop) and is caused by the rc.shutdown script
present in Arch Linux.

I don't know what specifically causes the problem because I haven't had
time to investigate but I do know that it's fixed by removing everything
from rc.shutdown onwards from the line containing "stat_busy “Saving System
Clock”" as suggested on lxc.teegra.net (I had done this on a prior
container but missed this step on a new one which is why the problem only
started happening recently).

So something in that shutdown file has the capacity to disable the host's
ability to start further containers and also disable the ability to ssh
into already running ones (thankfully, lxc-console still worked).

John
