Thanks for the information. The key was in the /proc/self/mounts output: you have cgroups mounted in schroots. This is triggering a bug in the way cgroups are handled in lxc.
You should be able to work around it by unmounting the cgroup filesystems from under /var/lib/schroot/mount/rtmpdump- test/sys/fs/cgroup. I'll work on a fix for lxc. ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn) ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Critical ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Also affects: lxc (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: lxc (Ubuntu Saucy) Importance: Critical Assignee: Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu Raring) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176287 Title: lxc-start: Error creating cgroups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1176287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
