[lxc-users] Ownership changes after container move

[Jamie Brown]

Correction; the user was changed to “ubuntu” but the group was changed to “admin”. Though I’m guessing it is more to do with matching of the underlying user/group identities that is the problem.

Subject: [lxc-users] Ownership changes after container move

Hi,

I’ve discovered that some file ownership changes have occurred after moving stopped containers between hosts.

Prior to the move there were various user directories (e.g. “/home/jamie”) with ownership set to jamie:jamie. After moving, the ownership was changed to ubuntu:ubuntu.

I discovered the issue when attempting to SSH to the moved host and was prompted to enter my password as I no longer owned my authorized_keys file.

I will try to repeat this, but I can confirm it has happened on multiple containers.
