If a container has no root, liblxc remounts /proc. If the
system had marked / as MS_SHARED, then even though the
container is in a new mounts namespace, the mount event is
propagated back to the host mounts namespace, overwriting
/proc. After that, for instance, ps will no longer show
system processes.
A Fedora 11 default install has / MS_SHARED.
Make sure that root is not MS_SHARED before remounting
/proc. I'm making it MS_SLAVE so that the container
will receive mount events from the host, but not vice
versa.
