[lxc-users] properly shutdown jessie container on wheezy host

[Alex Mestiashvili]

It seem I found the problem, if I mount /run as tmpfs

lxc.mount.entry = tmpfs run tmpfs
nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=0755,size=128m 0 0

then telinit 0 inside the container doesn't work, though /run/initctl is
present:

ls -l /run/initctl
prw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 13 15:54 /run/initctl

I tried to remove nodev and noexec mount options, but even with

lxc.mount.entry = tmpfs run tmpfs rw

I get "timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl"

it would be nice to know why it doesn't work, but as I only need
/run/shm to be tmpfs, the problem can be considered resolved.
