But that directory DOES exist in the container: > > ostara ~ # ls -ld /vm/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev/dev/pts/ > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 2011 /vm/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev/dev/pts/ Actually libvirt will mount a brand new tmpfs at /dev inside the container, so whatever your filesystem has at /dev is not used. Libvirt should of course also be creating the /dev/pts mount point. This makes me think the error message could actually refer to the "/.oldroot//var/run/libvirt/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev.devpts" path. > > ostara ~ # tail -n 10 /var/log/libvirt/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev.log > 2013-05-14 13:04:20.894+0000: starting up > PATH=/bin:/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.6.3:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/i686-pc-mingw32/gcc-bin/4.7.2 > LIBVIRT_DEBUG=3 LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS=3:stderr /usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc > --name dwj-lnx-dev --console 22 --security=none --handshake 25 --background > --veth veth1 > PATH=/bin:/sbin TERM=linux container=lxc-libvirt > container_uuid=fbcd8c3a-9939-12b4-727d-5d3526bc448f > LIBVIRT_LXC_UUID=fbcd8c3a-9939-12b4-727d-5d3526bc448f > LIBVIRT_LXC_NAME=dwj-lnx-dev /sbin/init > 2013-05-14 13:04:21.562+0000: 1: info : libvirt version: 1.0.5 > 2013-05-14 13:04:21.562+0000: 1: error : lxcContainerMountFSDevPTS:808 : > Failed to mount /.oldroot//var/run/libvirt/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev.devpts on > /dev/pts: No such file or directory > 2013-05-14 13:04:21.562+0000: 22562: info : libvirt version: 1.0.5 > 2013-05-14 13:04:21.562+0000: 22562: error : virLXCControllerRun:1481 : > error receiving signal from container: Input/output error > error receiving signal from container: Input/output error > 2013-05-14 13:04:21.628+0000: 22562: error : virCommandWait:2353 : internal > error Child process (ip link del veth1) unexpected exit status 1: Cannot > find device "veth1" We need to get more debug info from this file. Stop libvirtd and edit /etc/libvirt/lxc.conf and set log_with_libvirtd=1 and then run libvirtd with LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS=1:stderr LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS="3:event 3:json 3:object 1:util 1:lxc" /usr/sbin/libvirtd and then try to start a container again. The container log file above should now get much more verbose data (i don't care about the log output from libvirtd itself - just the container log file).
