Hi there
I’ve just moved to libvirt-1.2.3 from 1.2.1; we use it for dealing with lxc containers
I just wanted to report that everything went well for us with this new release, except for
one little glitch
At some point the lxc drivers seems to check that the kernel indeed has the netns feature
built in
Well in our environment this checks miserably fails; I haven’t been able to tell exactly
why, but could find this post that might be related
Bug 1050210 – lxcCheckNetNsSupport fails to detect NETNS
As a quick workaround I have this patch below in place, with which everything else seems
to be working fine; at least all our system tests are passing..
It feels like the way the 1.2.3 code checks for the presence of netns is clearly not
exactly right (in our case selinux is disabled), and I wish a more reliable solution can
be found in the future :)
Hope this helps — Thanks in any case
