Public bug reported: Seems like overlayfs and unix sockets are not playing well. It might be racy, as it fails consistently on my laptop with an SSD, whereas for smoser it only failed a single time.
Steps to reproduce: REL="precise" $ sudo lxc-create -n source-$REL-amd64 -t ubuntu-cloud -- \ --release=$REL --arch=amd64 ## clone via overlayfs ## $ sudo lxc-clone --snapshot -B overlayfs -o source-$REL-amd64 -n $REL-overlayfs-01 $ sudo lxc-start -n $REL-overlayfs-01 ### inside ### $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install supervisor -y $ sudo service supervisor stop $ sudo sed -i.dist 's,var/run/*supervisor.sock,srv/supervisor.sock,' /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf $ sudo service supervisor start $ sudo supervisorctl maintail unix:///srv/supervisor.sock refused connection ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214500 Title: consistent failure with overlayfs and unix sockets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1214500/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
