Re: unaccessible directory in lxcContainerResolveSymlinks

Hi Michal, This is how snippets from my XML looks like. Full XML at the end of the mail.. <emulator>/usr/sbin/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/vol/usb1/iox/repo-lxc/utd/rootfs_mnt'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/flash/dir'/> <target dir='/flash/dir'/> </filesystem> The issue I am facing is, my container doesnt start. Fails at mounting this /flash/dir with below message. 2021-06-09 06:52:55.548+0000: 1: error : lxcContainerMountFSBind:1223 : Failed to bind mount directory /.oldroot/flash/dir to /flash/dir: No such file or directory I see that .oldroot is added to this path and figured out that lxcContainerPivotRoot is creating and mounting all folders under rootfs to rootfs/.oldroot But durig pivot root, this path /flash/dir is unaccessible and hence we don't seem to create this .oldroot/flash/dir. Later on, during lxcContainerMountFSBind(), /.oldroot/flash/dir bind mount fails. Any thoughts?
