The issue isn't inside a container, for that matter lxd is completely irrelevant here.
We're seeing that weird symlink loop happen randomly on xenial machines. Normal users likely won't notice it though as they don't use that mountpoint, LXC users do though as LXC bind-mounts it into the container which fails miserably when it's an infinite loop of symlinks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1555760 Title: Too many levels of symbolic links /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc Status in binfmt-support package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: At first I thought this was an LXD issue, but it turns out the issue is in systemd https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/1727#issuecomment-194416558 ls -l /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc fails with error: Too many levels of symbolic links I restarted binfmt manually by running: sudo /usr/sbin/update-binfmts --disable sudo /usr/sbin/update-binfmts --enable I think using systemd to do this would have also worked: sudo service binfmt-support restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binfmt-support/+bug/1555760/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
