Public bug reported: When lxc-start-ephemeral is given a command to run (-- do_something) it wants to use lxc-attach to run the command, but lxc-attach is not ready yet. Instead, it parses the dhcp leases to figure out the IP for the container, and then tries to use ssh to run the command.
Twice today in tests involving lxc-start-ephemeral, the dhcp leases were unavailable and lxc-start-ephemeral failed. The machine was under fairly heavy load and was virtualized (EC2). I'd like to try and make this less fragile. As discussed on IRC, using lxcip (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad/lpsetup/trunk/files/head:/lplxcip/) should make this more reliable. Perhaps increasing the timeout in that code might be useful as well. ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994752 Title: lxc-start-ephemeral's use of dhcp lease table is fragile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/994752/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
