Hmm, so from the logs I'm fairly certain the missing path is the /.oldroot//var/run/libvirt/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev.devpts one, not /dev/pts
Can you tell me if any part of '/var/run/libvirt/lxc/' is a symlink to elsewhere ? In particular is '/var/run' a symlink, and if so is it relative or absolute ?
No symlinks under "/var/run/libvirt", but "/var/run" is a symlink to "/run".
ostara ~ # file /var/run /var/run: symbolic link to `/run'
Ok, that'll be the problem. When libvirt prepends /.oldroot onto the path, the symlink keeps pointing to /run instead of to /.oldroot/run :-(
On Fedora "/var/run" is a relative symlink to "../run" to avoid these kinds of problem.
As a quick workaround you can make your symlink relative too.
I'll get a fix into the next libvirt release to deal with absolute symlinks better.
ostara ~ # cd /var ostara var # rm run; ln -s ../run run ostara var # virsh -c lxc:/// start dwj-lnx-dev Domain dwj-lnx-dev started Yeah. Diagnosis confirmed. Daniel, thank you for your assistance.
