Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> Date: Fri May 11 15:09:27 2012 +0100 Avoid LXC pivot root in the root source is still / This commit broke setup of /dev, because the code which deals with setting up a private /dev and /dev/pts only works if you do a pivotroot. The original intent of avoiding the pivot root was to try and ensure the new root has a minimumal mount tree. The better way todo this is to just unmount the bits we don't want (ie old /proc & /sys subtrees. So apply the logic from commit c529b47a756960d332fbe9903943dae855e7b949 Author: Daniel P.
