https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1459592 In 290a00e41d I've tried to fix the process of building a qemu namespace when dealing with file mount points. What I haven't realized then is that we might be dealing not with just regular files but also special files (like sockets). Indeed, try the following: 1) socat unix-listen:/tmp/soket stdio 2) touch /dev/socket 3) mount --bind /tmp/socket /dev/socket 4) virsh start anyDomain Problem with my previous approach is that I wasn't creating the temporary location (where mount points under /dev are moved) for anything but directories and regular files.
