MAKEDEV doesn't just make the devices, it first removes them. When a container starts, it sets up /dev/console and /dev/lxc[1-4] as bind mounts of ptys on the host, for use as lxc consoles. If mounted- dev deletes and recreates those, then none of the lxc consoles work. A simple patch which stops it from breaking lxc consoles is at lp :~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/quantal/mountall/mountall-lxc . However looking back at it, I think it would be ok to do a further check for whether /dev/console exists. If it does not exist, then MAKEDEV console anyway. This isn't necessary, just a thought. == SRU == === Rationale === This bug was fixed in trusty but still affects precise LXC containers that are brought up with /dev mounted as something other than a devtmpfs (which is the case with LXC 1.1). === Test case === - Install LXC 1.1 (from ppa:ubuntu-lxc/daily or in a few days, from vivid) - sudo lxc-create -t download -n precise -- -d ubuntu -r precise -a amd64 - sudo lxc-start -n precise -F That will hang at a blank screen even though the container is functional. - sudo lxc-attach -n precise -- apt-get dist-upgrade -y - sudo lxc-attach -n precise -- reboot And at that point, getty should show up fine in the lxc-start shell. === Regression potential === Not expecting any, the change is straightforward and has been in Ubuntu since raring.
