Hello all, This is my first mail to this list, so let me introduce myself. My name is yuanzhi cao, and I work in the oVirt team. Currently We are using libvirt lxc in large-scale and found that libvirt can't destroy container process normally . Environments: System: zesty libvirt version: 2.5.0-3ubuntu5 vm rootfs release: ubuntu:16.04 Reproduce: 1. Run command "virsh -c lxc:// start vm" and the release of vm is xenial 2. Run command "pa aux|grep init" ,you would find the pid of init launch by vm. 3. Run command "virsh -c lxc:// destroy vm". 4. Run command "virsh -c lxc:// list --all" and "ps aux|grep init" ,you could find that vm is shutoff, but the init process launch by vm is still running. Infact I have found the case of this bug, there is a patch after 1.3.1 that import this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------- Commit: dc576025c360a1d2c89da410d0f3f0da55d0143f [dc57602] Parents: 511e7c5bba Author: Daniel P.
