[Lxc-users] Need simple configuration for embedded ARM LXC

[Somnath Mitra]

Greetings,

I have built lxc 0.9.0 running on Linux 3.6.0 on Xilinx ARM Cortex A9 dual
core embedded board. For general utilities it has busybox/dropbear.

I wish to run applications in containers. I used this configuration:

/tmp # cat lxc-veth-xckt.conf
lxc.utsname = beta
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = br0
lxc.network.hwaddr = 4a:49:43:49:79:bf
lxc.network.ipv4 = 10.2.3.5/24
## lxc.network.ipv6 = 2003:db8:1:0:1234:fe0b:3597
## lxc.mount = /etc/lxc/fstab
## lxc.rootfs = /tmp/lxc/rootfs
lxc.rootfs = /

I have br0 setup already:

/tmp # ifconfig br0
br0       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0A:35:00:01:22
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)


Then I tried to run an app container:

/tmp # lxc-execute -n foobar -f lxc-veth-xckt.conf /bin/ash
device vethlmY2Y8 entered promiscuous mode
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): vethlmY2Y8: link is not ready
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): vethlmY2Y8: link becomes ready
lxc-execute: Failed to find an lxc-init
lxc-execute: invalid sequence number 1. expected 4
lxc-execute: failed to spawn 'foobar'
device vethlmY2Y8 left promiscuous mode
br0: port 2(vethlmY2Y8) entered disabled state


Since the container rootfs is shared with host I am confused why it cannot
find lxc-init?

I have already checked that kernel is configured correctly using
lxc-checkconfig.

Pls send a pointer to a simple working configuration for embedded systems.

Thanks,
SM.
