You gave lxc-start '-P /var/lib/lxc/test'.  For lxc-create, you did
not give that option, but you gave a custom config file.  lxc-stop
shows the contaienr not running bc it is talking to the command
socket '\0/var/lib/lxc/command', while the container is talking
over '\0/var/lib/lxc/test/command'.  Deleting the container fails
bc you cannot remove a directory which is mounted over, and bc
the container *is* running, dev/shm in the container is overmounted
with a tmpfs (presumably).
