This is an unfortunate side effect of the backwards-compatibility code. This is also why I don't like the bind mount; the symlink option has the nice property that f*ckups are more obvious. The non-legacy option should be as follows, IMNSHO: - ALL mounts of devpts use -o newinstance; - /dev/ptmx -> pts/ptmx symlink. -hpa _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
