Hi, the issue is solved, but I don't know how I solved it. I had the following issue. # systemd-nspawn -D /mnt/q [snip] Failed to copy /etc/resolv.conf to /mnt/q/etc/resolv.conf: Too many levels of symbolic links From outside the container # ls -hAl /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/q/etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 May 24 19:07 /etc/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Nov 19 2012 /mnt/q/etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf then I removed and copied this and that inside and outside the container and now it's solved, also when I start another container. # ls -hAl /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/q/etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 May 24 19:07 /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 May 24 19:07 /mnt/q/etc/resolv.conf # ls -hAl /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/oz/etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 May 24 19:07 /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 May 24 19:07 /mnt/oz/etc/resolv.conf I can't reproduce at what point I solved the issue, resp. reproduce the state when it failed. Any ideas? Bash history isn't a help for me. Regards, Ralf
