Ok got that. I used git://github.com/lxc/lxc.git #staging. Built and installed ok. Existing containers running. When I try to create a new one, with or without the autodev like you suggest, I get the below: # lxc-create -n test2 -f test2.conf lxc-create: unknown template '' lxc-create: aborted I checked and the above create does work with 0.8.0. I realise it's probably a glitch caused by something unrelated and which will probably be fixed quite quickly. I may try a re-build in the morning. Next, I manually edited /var/lib/lxc/test/config to add lxc.autodev to it but attempting to start the container gave me this: # lxc-start -n test2 lxc-start: No such file or directory - failed to mount 'devshm' on '/usr/lib/lxc/rootfs//dev/shm' I had an instruction in the config to mount devshm so I removed that and could then start the container up successfully. I got a login prompt and can log in. Lovely! I now need to run some more tests here but I can confirm that the staging build will allow a container to start on my Arch system. FYI (Arch - specific): I used a modified copy of the lxc-git PKGBUILD (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lx/lxc-git/PKGBUILD) to build lxc#staging. I only changed the git root to be "git://github.com/lxc/lxc.git". ps. I Just did an lxc-destroy while testing and it appears to now be destructive. That took me by surprise.
