Perhaps the problem is triggered by the host systemd version as I have: $ systemd-nspawn --version systemd 245 (v245.7-1.fc32) +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA -APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN2 -IDN +PCRE2 default-hierarchy=unified

Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Hi, I'm using nspawn and asked the question @systemd-devel. They redirected me to you, guessing that nspawn calls a syscall or ioctl qemu isnt aware of and can't implement properly? They were like: "Sorry, that's not my department." ^^ Maybe you can reproduce the issue or help me investigating whats wrong or put the ball right back into their court? :D Testscript: wget https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_armhf_latest -o r.zip unzip r.zip LOOP=$(losetup --show -Pf *raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img) mount ${LOOP}p2 /mnt mount ${LOOP}p1 /mnt/boot systemd-nspawn --bind /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static --boot --directory=/mnt -- systemd.log_level=debug Output: see attachment System: uname -a Linux MArch 5.8.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat, 05 Sep 2020 12:31:32 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux qemu-arm-static --version qemu-arm version 5.1.0 systemd-nspawn --version systemd 246 (246.4-1-arch) +PAM +AUDIT -SELINUX -IMA -APPARMOR +SMACK -SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +ZSTD +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN2 -IDN +PCRE2 default-hierarchy=hybrid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1895053/+subscriptions
