[lxc-users] lxc SLES container and failed container creation.

[Narahari Lakshminarayana]

Ok. finally I got some time to retry this and get this to progress.  But I
have hit some roadblocks.  I have pasted the log here.  Please take a min
and advise what is possibly wrong.

I am trying to setup LXC container on a SLES  11SP3 host.

Since there is no template for SLES I have to use the openSuse template
that comes with the install.

Here are the steps I have taken.  But I am seeing failure.

you need to boot your kernel with file_caps parameter to enable File
capabilities (not required if using lxc under root user, as recommended).


Note : Before booting a new kernel, you can check its configuration

usage : CONFIG=/path/to/config /usr/bin/lxc-checkconfig
