Public bug reported:
When trying to launch a container with the specific alias "tasks", it
fails to launch.
$ lxc launch d23ee1f4fd28 tasks
Creating tasks
Starting tasks
error: Error calling 'lxd forkstart tasks /var/lib/lxd/containers
/var/log/lxd/tasks/lxc.conf': err='exit status 1'
Try `lxc info --show-log tasks` for more info
Exit 1
The reason is that in /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/lxc/ there is already a file
called "tasks". In that directory, any new containers is created as a new
directory that has as a name the alias that we have given.
Since "tasks" is reserved", lxc fails to continue.
Here are the contents of the directory
$ ls -l /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/lxc/
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 5 root 165536 0 Ιούν 10 12:32 c1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Ιούν 10 12:53 cgroup.clone_children
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Ιούν 10 12:53 cgroup.procs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Ιούν 10 12:53 notify_on_release
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Ιούν 10 12:53 tasks
Currently, there is potential conflict with "tasks" only as the other filenames
are invalid hostnames (contain dots or underscores).
Presumably in the future there might be more such files.
Among the solutions,
1. the container directories in /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/lxc/ should have
something like ".lxd" appended to them so that there is no future conflict.
