Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] Fix occasional container creation failure due to misuse of grantpt

glibc's grantpt and ptsname cannot be used on a fd for a pty not in /dev/pts. The lxc controller tries to do just that. So if you try to start a container on a system where /dev/pts/0 is not available, it will fail. You can make this happen by opening a terminal on /dev/pts/0, and doing 'sleep 2h & disown; exit'. To fix this, I call the virFileOpenTtyAt() from a forked task in a new mount ns, and first mount the container's /dev/pts onto /dev/pts. (Then the opened fd must be passed back to the lxc driver). Another solution would be to just do it all by hand without grantpt and ptsname.
