[Lxc-users] container affecting host - lxc-1.0.0alpha1 on ubuntu 13.10

[Marc Paradise]

Hi all,

I've run into some unusual behaviors when creating/starting containers --
any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

- /tmp on the *host* is overwritten any time I start a container.
- shutting down a container via lxc-stop will perform a graceful shutdown
of the host
- lxc-console to attach tells me it attaches, but it appears 'hung' - there
is no login.
- lxc-ls --fancy shows me the container is running and assignd an IP.  The
IP is pingable, but I cant reach it via ssh

When creating a container, I noticed one warning/error "invoke-rc.d:
polcy-rc.d denied execution of start". There are also a couple of errors on
lxc-start -- the complete output is at the end of the message.

After lxc-start, /tmp of the host has been erased.

Some background: Was previously using lxc-0.0.7 on ubuntu 13.04.  On the
same box had installed dev builds of lxc to /usr/local.  Upgraded the box
to 13.10;  after running into various issues accessing and creating
containers, I uninstalled both the default ubuntu lxc installation, and the
dev version .  Manually  hunted down some liblxc instances that weren't
cleaned up.

Then I re-installed lxc via apt, and that's where I am now - what should be
standard lxc-1.0.0alpha as packaged on ubuntu 13.10.

lxc-create output:

sudo lxc-create -n base05 -t ubuntu -- -b marc

lxc-start:
