[libvirt-users] libvirt v1.0.2 fails to boot LXC container, but v1.0.0 works
Hello.
tl;dr = v1.0.0 can boot my LXC containers, v.1.0.1 and v.1.0.2 fails.
Paraphrased error message: "lxcContainerMountProcFuse:616 : Failed to
mount ..../meminfo"
I'd like to know if my host is misconfigured, or my domains, or
... why 1.0.2 and 1.0.1 are not working for me.
I've been using libvirt for a while to manage QEMU instances. I
have experimented with lxc. Back in October of last year, I had some
working LXC containers. I don't recall what version of libvirt I was
using at the time.
I recently attempted to boot my containers, and they failed
(libvirt v1.0.2). I then reverted to v1.0.1 and tried again. Failed
with the same result (same error text, just different line numbers).
I then reverted to 1.0.0 and my containers boot up just fine.
My host runs Gentoo Linux on an Inter core-i5 with 16G ram. I
regularly (weekly) apply all available Gentoo updates.
I strongly perfer to install all third-party software (including
libvirt) from Gentoo portage, not manually from source or git. v1.0.2
is the most recent version available.
First, items common to all test cases:

What version of libvirt will these patches appear in? eg, is there a way to map a git commit to a future release?
