Is anyone using libvirt for lxc ? I am trying to do so and running
into an issue. The system container starts fine with lxc tools and am
able to connect to it.
Here is the snippet of my xml file (rest is same as in
http://libvirt.org/drvlxc.html)
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator>
<filesystem type='mount'>
<source dir='/lxc/f12'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:82:87:64'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<target dev='tap0'/>
</interface>
<console type='pty'>
<target port='0'/>
</console>
</devices>
Am able to start the container but when I do console :
virsh # console f12lxc
Connected to domain f12lxc
Escape character is ^]
<<hangs here and I press enter, it destroys the domain>>
virsh #
Am running Fedora 12 with 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686. I changed target
dev='tap0' to 'veth' and no change in the behavior.
Please help.
Thanks,
Nirmal

If so, could you try "/bin/sh" instead of "/init"? ozaki-r> > Am running Fedora 12 with 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686.

I have run into one or two issues though, so much so that I only boot with kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE now. However, these issues may not affect you, and it's been a while so I can't remember what they were exactly.> Am able to start the container but when I do console : > > virsh # console f12lxc > Connected to domain f12lxc > Escape character is ^] > <<hangs here and I press enter, it destroys the domain>>Hmm, when I had this issue I was not really able to get any useful diagnostic information from anywhere. I had to resort to starting with /bin/bash and bringing up everything manually - which is what I still do. Obviously, I hope this situation will be improved in the future! -- Robin
