I've been unable to use 7.3 also, at least with my existing 7.2 configs.

I assume it must "work", and only the developer who changed it knows how 
to make it work after that change.

I'd like a description of that here or somewhere so I can stay up to 
date. I saw only an unclear answer to a similar question a while back.
Something about the mount paths being relative to some other context 
than before, but it wasn't explained exactly what needs to be specified 
relative to what.

I haven't tried to deduce it by trial & error since I need all my 
working lxc hosts to actually work at the moment, so they have to keep 
running 7.2. I haven't had time to set up a new lxc host purely for 
testing that I can try 7.3 on without disturbing the production boxes.
