[lxc-users] upgrade to LXC 1.0.6 : segfault

[Yannick Barbeaux]

Hi everyone,

my first post in the LXC world!
I have been using LXC 1.0.3 on debian wheezy for a few months now and
everything worked fine, except that the kern.log (and thus syslog too) on
"Dom0" was garbled as soon as I started any container :

example:
Oct 27 16:19:51 myserver kernel: rl(NU)I=r.0
U=MC0:05:00:1f:ac:1e:60:0SC0000DT24001LN3 O=x0PE=x0TL1I= FPOO2
Oct 27 16:19:53 myserver kernel: 91845] rpe yfrwl IPT Nb012OT
A=10:e0:00:e5:86:88:80 R=... S=2... E=2TS00 RC0C T= D0D RT=  2.233 rp  ra
NTIb.4U C10e001ece20480R0. =..E2S0R0 =DDR=4>[  922.837874]  dropped by
firewall (INPUT) IN=br0105 OU=MC0:05:00:16:09:99:f0:0SC0000DT=2... E=2TS00
RC0C T= D0D RT= ==x0PE=x0TL1I= FPOO2

it seems that various processes write at the same time in the logs and thus
it is totally messy.

I thought that upgrading to LXC 1.0.6 could solve that issue. I downloaded
the sources and compiled the new version with python enabled.

The real problems started with that new version: after rebooting, the
containers would simply not start (lxc-start -d -n p1 does not do anything,
nothing in the logs either). After investigations, I found out that the
link to the liblxc pointed to the liblxc.so.1.1.0.alpha1.
After deleting the symbolic link and recreating it to point to
liblxc.so.1.0.6, I was able to launch the containers successfully but
unfortunately, one of the command I used the most, lxc-ls --fancy was
broken (Segmentation fault). Same issue for the lxc-autostart command.

Furthermore, after each reboot, the link to the alpha1 version of the lib
is automatically recreated so before launching the containers, I have to
execute those commands to recreate the correct link:
rm /usr/local/lib/liblxc.so.1
ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblxc.so.1.0.6 /usr/local/lib/liblxc.so.1

And guess what, with the v1.0.6, my kern.log and syslog are still garbled
so the upgrade was definitely not efficient in my case.

To sum up, since the upgrade, I face the following issues:
- garbled logs on "Dom0" (same issue as with v1.0.3)
- link to the liblxc.so.1.1.0alpha is recreated at each system startup (and
implies that I cannot launch my containers)
- lxc-ls --fancy and lxc-autostart not working anymore

Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Yannick
