[Lxc-users] Converting existing CentOS 6.x to container within Ubuntu 12.04 - can that be simple?

[Whit Blauvelt]

I must be real close, thanks to your help. Have lxc on Ubuntu 12.04, with a
bridge set up, and an existing CentOS 6.3 file system copied to the system
and modified per the tux1 directions.

But ... 

# lxc-start --name obscured
lxc-start: Invalid argument - failed to umount 'dev/pts'
lxc-start: failed to setup the new pts instance
lxc-start: failed to setup the container
lxc-start: invalid sequence number 1. expected 2
lxc-start: failed to spawn 'obscured'

Emptying the dev/pts directory fixed that, but then:

obscured login: root
Password: init: tty (/dev/tty2) main process (131) terminated with status 1
init: tty (/dev/tty2) main process ended, respawning
init: tty (/dev/tty3) main process (133) terminated with status 1
init: tty (/dev/tty3) main process ended, respawning
init: tty (/dev/tty4) main process (135) terminated with status 1
init: tty (/dev/tty4) main process ended, respawning
init: tty (/dev/tty5) main process (137) terminated with status 1
init: tty (/dev/tty5) main process ended, respawning
init: tty (/dev/tty6) main process (139) terminated with status 1
init: tty (/dev/tty6) main process ended, respawning

Should I have just emptied the whole /dev directory and recreated only the
specifically given entries given in the tux1 wiki? I'd run each command
given there, but not on an empty /dev directory.

Thanks again,
Whit
