[lxc-users] lxc stop does not stop a CentOS 7 container

[Hiroaki Nakamura]

Hi all,

I was trying lxc on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and found out that
lxc stop does not stop a CentOS 7 container.

I ran the following commands.

lxc image copy images:/centos/7/amd64 local: --alias=cent7
lxc launch cent7 cent01
lxc stop cent01
^ This does not stop the cent01 container even after one minute,
so I pressed Control-C to kill this command.

I found a workaround at
https://lists.linuxcontainers.org/pipermail/lxc-users/2014-February/006304.html

Here is a command to fix.
lxc exec cent01 -- sh -c 'ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/halt.target
/etc/systemd/system/sigpwr.target && systemctl daemon-reload'

After this fix, the container is stopped immediately with
lxc stop cent01

I would like to this fix to be included in the original image.
How can I contact the maintainers of container images?

Here are versions of lxc and CentOS 7 image.

$ lxc version
2.0.0

$ lxc image list cent
