which lxc version are u using?
I can get past this step but I have other issues related to systemd or
at least that's what i concluded
I am using the latest GIT version
the one problem i get related to multiple cgroups is the stoping
when i stop a container it fails to remove all the cgroups ctreated
so I need to do
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
for cg in $(find -type d -name $container_name); do find $cg -type d
-exec rmdir -p '{}' \;;done
