First of all, there is no such thing... the devpts instance is simply another filesystem, whereas the /proc/sys entry is a global limit on the total number of ptys in the system. Again, one of thousands, and yes, they probably should ALL be readonly in a container environment. That has to be set up separately than the devpts filesystem, because the devpts filesystem is not tied to procfs or even containers in any way. -hpa _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list contain...@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openvz.org https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
