Because it's needed for things like the Android container on Ubuntu Touch, application containers on OpenWRT, ...
There are legitimate use cases for those features, those use cases just never apply when running a full Linux distro inside the container :) LXC used to default to sharing the netns by default when no lxc.network entry was set, that was clearly bad design and we've fixed that (no defaulting to an empty netns), but if someone specifically sets lxc.network.type=none or passes --share-net 1, we give them exactly what they requested. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1520225 Title: lxc-stop powered off a server Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, Earlier today, a server got powered off and I'm 99% sure it's because I ran the following command as root : # lxc-stop -n <container> The container was started manually with : # lxc-start -n <container> -F --share-net 1 and it wasn't fully booted (ie I didn't have the console yet). syslog just showed : Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.012313] init: tty4 main process (1298) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.013083] init: tty5 main process (1301) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.013750] init: jujud-unit-landscape-client-0 main process (1303) terminated with status 2 Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.014412] init: jujud-unit-ksplice-0 main process (1306) terminated with status 2 Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.015017] init: tty2 main process (1307) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.015592] init: tty3 main process (1309) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.016160] init: tty6 main process (1312) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.016810] init: jujud-machine-0 main process (1313) terminated with status 2 Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.017423] init: jujud-unit-ubuntu-basenode-0 main process (1314) terminated with status 2 Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.018583] init: tty1 main process (1784) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.019164] init: ttyS1 main process (1791) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.019738] init: cron main process (20196) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.020328] init: irqbalance main process (26014) killed by TERM signal Nov 26 11:13:12 foo kernel: [30192021.020926] init: cgmanager main process (27367) killed by TERM signal and that's it.
