Sorry about the delay...
If you want to try out the files with my changes, you can download from here: http://manny.freebits.com.ar/lxc-debian-wheezy-2.tar.gz I shipped in there Rob's template file for wheezy with some minor changes by me, lxc-create also with some changes, and the diff files of these files against the original ones (the lxc debian package in the case of lxc-create, and Rob's template in the other). Bear in mind that in order for my change to work properly you have to add a line like this in /etc/default/lxc: LXC_DIRECTORY="/srv/lxc" (change this path to lxc where container's files are according to your setup) To create a container you may use: lxc-create -n mycontainer1 -t debian-wheezy or lxc-create -n mycontainer2 -t debian-wheezy -B lvm --lvname mycontainer2-diskpart --vgname vg0 --fstype ext4 --fssize 512M To start: lxc-start -n mycontainer1 -d It may take a bit to start due to dhcp client. You can avoid this by setting a fixed ip address in /etc/network/interfaces for the container itself. To enter the console: lxc-console -n mycontainer1 To exit the console: ctrl+a q With these files I've been able to create both types of containers: normal and lvm-backend based and they work properly. Hope it helps until we get to the real fix. Cheers, Gustavo
