[Lxc-users] ubuntu / lucid container not starting / mountall not sending events

[Arie Skliarouk]

Hi,

The script did not run on "start on startup", only on "start on filesystem"
setting. Still, the /etc/init/rc.conf was not processed.
BTW, my system does not hang, it starts ssh properly.

Could it be related to duplicate mounts reported by df? :
*root at master2:~# df

Neither /etc/fstab of the container, nor lxc.conf file specify mounting of
the /var/run filesystem (which I heard to be problematic for LXC
containers).
