That was it!

# getfattr -d -m '.*' /usr/bin/newuidmap
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: usr/bin/newuidmap
security.capability=0sAQAAAoAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=

I have not fully comprehended, what -m '.*' does, but the security capability was missing on the new drive, while being existent on the old one.

Reinstalled shadow and that brought back the capabilites, as rsync with -X would not have wanted to recopy the files, and the container boot again without the need to adding capabilities in the unit file

Thanky very much!

Time to figure out, what other files I might have missed.

Note sure what you mean - I think you're asking which files?
/usr/bin/newuidmap and /usr/bin/newgidmap may have been installed
with file caps (although on mine it is just setuid-root)

Thanks! That may be quite a hint! I've used -avlW, but not -X. As I've never
intentionally messed with xattrs, I've completely missed those.

Where would those attributes have been stored? Running a dryrun with added X
does not obviously seem to reveal anything.

Hi,

So I've migrated my whole system via rsync from f2fs to btrfs on a new
drive, and, after rebooting, all my unpriviledged lxc containers refused to
start.

Example:


lxc-start ... ERROR    conf - conf.c:lxc_map_ids:2779 - newuidmap failed to
write mapping "newuidmap: Could not set caps": newuidmap 2413 0 4000000 1 1
4000001 65534
lxc-start ... ERROR    start - start.c:lxc_spawn:1690 - Failed to set up id
mapping.


Granting more rights after some searching in their unit files:


AmbientCapabilities=CAP_SETGID
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_SETUID


made them work again. Being curios, I then booted from the old f2fs drive
again and the containers are coming up without above capability additions.

Back to btrfs and those are needed.

Any idea, what may be going on here?

How did you migrate the fs?  rsync for instance would need -X
to preserve xattrs, which is how posix file capabilities are
stored.
