[lxc-users] Error installing lxcfs > rc8

[Antonio Tovar]

Hello,

I have problems upgrading from lxcfs RC8 to RC9 or v2.

When upgrading, the installer shows the message:

Setting up lxcfs (...~ppa1) ...

and then every filesystem is mounted and the installer freezes.

I have three fs's which usually are not mounted, so three Thunar windows
appear suddenly.

Last time, I had an usb memory plugged and it was mounted too.

In syslog I see lines about mounting all the fs's, but there are also these
lines:

Apr  1 15:18:55 pc1 systemd-udevd[371]: seq 3564
'/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata5/host4/target4:0:0/4
:0:0:0/block/sdc/sdc1' is taking a long time
Apr  1 15:18:55 pc1 systemd[1]: systemd-udevd.service: Got notification
message from PID 371, but reception
 only permitted for main PID 5447
Apr  1 15:20:15 pc1 systemd[1]: message repeated 2 times: [
systemd-udevd.service: Got notification message
 from PID 371, but reception only permitted for main PID 5447]
Apr  1 15:20:54 pc1 systemd-udevd[5447]: seq 3564
'/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata5/host4/target4:0:0/
4:0:0:0/block/sdc/sdc1' killed

The problem is that /dev/sdc1 is the boot/root partition. It is an LVM
volume from which linux booted, so it is already mounted but It's like if
the installer can't see it mounted.

Then, If I execute "sudo lvs" the command does not return, it freezes. So
the installer is somehow blocking the partition.

I have a snapshot of the root filesystem too, I don't know if that is a
problem, because grub also get confused and try to insert an option to boot
from that snapshot.

Of course, I always restore the snapshot after every failed upgrade.

The system es Xubuntu 15.10

At work I have the same system and lxcfs was upgraded without problems, but
the boot/root partition is ext4.

Any help or idea?

Thanks.

Antonio
