@Nigel - thanks, but near as I can tell all that was done on August 30. Likely I goofed up and missed some step. Should I have placed *this* bug in FixReleased state? (I thought that was about the development release version, which is N/A here)
Thanks for any hints. ** Description changed: =========================== SRU request description ================================= IMPACT: users with separate /var partition cannot start containers HOW ADDRESSED: the fix was applied upstream some time ago, and is rolled into the maverick package. The proposed package attached to this bug cherrypicks the specific patch. PATCH: a debdiff is attached below (comment #23) - TO REPRODUCE: Install a system with a separate /var partition, and try to + TEST CASE: Install a system with a separate /var partition, and try to start a container. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: The patch is only to lxc code, so no non-lxc code should be affected. As for lxc itself, this simply makes it do 'umount -l' instead of 'umount', so lxc should not regress either. ============================= Original description ============================= Binary package hint: lxc I have /var on a separate partition. As described in lxc-users, this prevents containers from startup: $ lxc-start --name lemon -l DEBUG -o $(tty) ... lxc-start [timestamp] ERROR lxc_conf - Device or resource busy - could not unmount old rootfs The post http://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00032.html contains the patch for this problem. This patch is already included in git. Attaching this patch here since the error message does not really have any clue about what to do.
