I tried starting stopping trusty, wily and xenial containers, none of that triggers it.
What's odd though is that every report I've seen so far, show no binfmt mounted, just the autofs. But LXC itself accesses the path so should have triggered autofs for the previous container startups. So either this only happens before the first container starts, or something is unmounting the real binfmt mount. -- 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
