"test" never was created, so it still doesn't show up. >> $ sudo lxc-start -F -n test -f /images/lxc/test.conf >> Error: container test is not defined > > I'd argue that this is also fine because the container does not exist on the > "/var/lib/lxc" path so lxc-start is perfectly right to complain. The fact that > this worked before is actually the real bug. I don't think so. lxc-start doesn't complain because it doesn't exist in the default path, but because it doesn't (pre-)exist at all! > So your solution should simply be to pass the path where the container > actually > exists to lxc-start: > > > sudo lxc-start -F -n test -f /images/lxc/test.conf -P /images/lxc It still doesn't work ("Error: container test is not defined"). I try to lxc-start a container that was never lxc-create'd. From the man page "lxc": VOLATILE CONTAINER It is not mandatory to create a container object before to start it. The container can be directly started with a configuration file as parameter. With the current version of lxc, I'm simply not able to do this :-( Detlef _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
