Hi All,
I am trying to evaluate whether centos-4.8 system container work on
Fedora-19 machine or not.
Host machine : Fedora 19
Guest (LXC container) : CentOS4 .8
For creation of of container i followed following steps,
1. Installed libvirt packages on fedora19
2. For installation of rootfs using yum, I have created the LOCAL
YUM REPO using CentOS-4.8 ISO files
3. Created rootfs using yum
4. Made changes in container xml file required for system container
5 .Define container using container xml file
Whenever I start system container it get started successfully but when I am
trying to access it using console then It show errors regarding /etc/fstab
files and filesystem corruption. I am not able to access the container.
Refer below for container xml file and error message,
contents of xml file for Centos container, *Centos4_8.xml:*

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2

filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
