Hi guys, I'm trying to run two containers of Fedora 15 over Fedora 15 host through libvirt on an amd64 host. However so far I've not been able to setup the environment and going through the list it seems there are some issues with systemd, however I'm not really sure how to make it work. I'm new to the LXC, but not new to libvirt, as I use it for few large deployments of QEMU for several clients and our internal infrastructure.
However I decided to go the LXC way for this host, as this server is very old and doesn't support AMD-V, and as it is an internal dev server it would be nice if I can consolidate couple of even older PIII machines on top of it. I've setup Fedora 15 with btrfs raid1 on the host, and used febootstrap (v2) to create Fedora 15 image in /var/lib/libvirt/lxc/web.fedora. I followed the howto (btw, the documentation of LXC lacks in quantity and arguably in quality) and set up fstab file according to it. Then in the xml definition for virsh I used this setup: <domain type='lxc'> <name>web.fedora</name> <uuid>deffe022-cf0d-e56c-badf-af46802a4538</uuid> <memory>1048576</memory> <currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64'>exe</type> <init>/sbin/init</init> </os> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:e3:8f:27'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='veth0'/> </interface> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> </devices> </domain> which according to what I understand of lxc docs and libvirt docs (btw, that documentation is not great either) seems to be alright. However when starting the container with virsh -c lxc:/// start web.fedora, the container starts through libvirt_lxc, however when I try to see the console through virsh -c lxc:/// console web.fedora, I don't get anything. The network of the container doesn't go up either, so I suppose it just doesn't go through init. >From what I gathered looking through the mailing list, there seems to be a problem with systemd and the fact that it mounts cgroups in different directories, however I saw that in the latest git, this is supposed to be fixed, so I pulled the latest code and compiled it (my paths are correct, and essentially the latest binaries overridden the old ones). However I still can't seem to start the container. I'm thinking the problem lays in the systemd of the container, as this is essentially the /sbin/init of F15, however I'm not sure what should I do. When I issue a start command through virsh, this is what I get in the /var/log/libvirt/lxc/web.fedora.log: PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin LIBVIRT_DEBUG=3 LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS=3:stderr /usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc --name web.fedora --console 25 --handshake 28 --background --veth veth1 PATH=/bin:/sbin TERM=linux LIBVIRT_LXC_UUID=deffe022-cf0d-e56c-badf-af46802a4538 LIBVIRT_LXC_NAME=web.fedora /sbin/init 17:43:02.278: 9459: info : libvirt version: 0.9.3, package: 2.fc15 (Unknown, 2011-07-26-18:35:16, storm.evo.net) and once I issue: virsh -c lxc:/// console web.fedora I get the log file flooded with: 17:43:02.278: 9459: error : lxcFdForward:287 : read of fd 9 failed: Input/output error 17:43:02.278: 9459: error : lxcFdForward:287 : read of fd 9 failed: Input/output error 17:43:02.278: 9459: error : lxcFdForward:287 : read of fd 9 failed: Input/output error 17:43:02.278: 9459: error : lxcFdForward:287 : read of fd 9 failed: Input/output error So could you please point me in the right direction, so that I can try and make this thing to work.
