Hi Daniel,
knowing that the /dev/random (c 1:8 rwm) device is assigned to the containers, the problem is :
- with libvirt 1.0.3: inside the container, I can do rm -f /dev/random; mknod /dev/random c 1 8 (which works fine)
- with libvirt 1.0.4: rm -f /dev/random; mknod /dev/random c 1 8 is not working (mknod: `random': Operation not permitted)
why is it allowed in 1.0.3 and not in 1.0.4 ?
Thanks
Mohamed
