There are several complicating factors when you try and create a container under a container. I use this quite frequently when trying to test some templates or work on boostraps. You'll have to make sure you have mknod enabled for the container and (especially in the case of the Fedora template) you may need one or more (2 in the case of Fedora) loopback devices so certain images can be mounted through a loop device. Not sure what else can fail but it's mostly a configuration issue. > Regards, > Kevin Wilson > _______________________________________________ > lxc-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users > -- Michael H.
