Public bug reported: mounted-dev.conf always does MAKEDEV console. MAKEDEV doesn't just make the devices, it first removes them.
When a container starts, it sets up /dev/console and /dev/lxc[1-4] as bind mounts of ptys on the host, for use as lxc consoles. If mounted- dev deletes and recreates those, then none of the lxc consoles work. A simple patch which stops it from breaking lxc consoles is at lp :~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/quantal/mountall/mountall-lxc . However looking back at it, I think it would be ok to do a further check for whether /dev/console exists. If it does not exist, then MAKEDEV console anyway. This isn't necessary, just a thought. ** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: High 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/1075717 Title: mounted-dev must not re-create consoles in a container To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/1075717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
