So the failure happens in the call pivot_root(".", path)
in conf.c:setup_rootfs_pivot_root, with the error message "Invalid argument". `path' value is "/mnt/lxc/mnt", current directory is "/mnt/lxc". This seems to be correct, or at least intended. The directories in /mnt/lxc are mounted as follows: /dev/mapper/raid10-root on /mnt/lxc type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,stripe=384,data=ordered) none on /mnt/lxc/proc type proc (rw,relatime) none on /mnt/lxc/dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) none on /mnt/lxc/tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=16384k) udev on /mnt/lxc/dev/snd type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=1861084k,nr_inodes=465271,mode=755) devpts on /mnt/lxc/dev/console type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) devpts on /mnt/lxc/dev/tty1 type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) devpts on /mnt/lxc/dev/tty2 type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) (/dev/mapper/raid10-root is the root file system of the host.) My container configuration entries are: lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/vservers/test lxc.rootfs.mount = /mnt/lxc And the container fstab: none /var/lib/vservers/test/proc proc defaults 0 0 none /var/lib/vservers/test/dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /var/lib/vservers/test/tmp tmpfs size=16m,mode=1777 0 0 /dev/snd /var/lib/vservers/test/dev/snd none bind 0 0 I've no idea whether the pivot_root call should succeed or not under these circumstances.
