[lxc-users] Too many levels of symbolic links

Lxc-create OK but this error at lxc-start:

lxc-start: utils.c: open_without_symlink: 1623 Too many levels of symbolic links - init in /usr/lib/lxc/rootfs/sbin/init was a symbolic link!

I'm using lxc 2.04 on an embedded system ( NFS mounted for development ) with init pointing to busybox. Is this disallowed / what is a workaround?

For the rootfs I used a custom template to untar the same rootfs as the embedded system just to try things.

Thanks, dB
