[libvirt-users] Problem with /dev/tty in LXC established with virt-install

I have created a LXC container with debootstrap followed by virt-install like this: host=mylxc1 debootstrap wheezy /home/lxc/$host virt-install -c lxc:// -n $host --filesystem /home/lxc/$host,/ --ram 1024 I am confused about the /dev filesystem in this container. Specifically the device '/dev/tty'. ~# ls -la /dev/tty ls: cannot access /dev/tty: No such file or directory # mknod -m 666 /dev/tty c 4 0 mknod: `/dev/tty': Operation not permitted A LXC container created and started with the native LXC commands (lxc-create/lxc-start) has a functioning /dev/tty: # cat </dev/tty foo foo ^C How can I create a functioning /dev/tty with the LXC driver in libvirt? - Vegard V -
