Hello!
I'm testing user namespaces and I have quite some problem getting them to work.
First of all, I have user namespaces support enabled in kernel:
offlinehacker:~/ $ uname -r
3.10.10
offlinehacker:~/ $ ls /proc/self/ns/
ipc@ mnt@ net@ pid@ user@ uts@
I created simple ubuntu rootfs and when I start container without idmap, so without user namespace mappings, it works just fine:
Libivrt config:
<domain type='lxc'>
<name>helloworld</name>
<memory>102400</memory>
<os>
<type>exe</type>
<init>/bin/dash</init>
</os>
<!--<idmap>
<uid start='0' target='499' count='10'/>
<gid start='0' target='100' count='10'/>
</idmap>-->
<devices>
<console type='pty'/>
<filesystem type='mount'>
<source dir='/home/offlinehacker/rootfs'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
</devices>
</domain>
This is how my rootfs looks like:
offlinehacker:~/ $ ls -la rootfs

And this is who I am:
offlinehacker:~/ $ id
uid=499(offlinehacker) gid=67(libvirtd) groups=100(users),1(wheel),57(networkmanager),67(libvirtd)
When I create the container with idmap uncommented I get the following error:
offlinehacker:~/ $ virsh -c lxc:/// create helloworld.xml
error: Failed to create domain from helloworld.xml
error: internal error: guest failed to start: 2013-09-05 19:08:57.781+0000: 19036: debug
And these are the logs:

Looks like .oldroot, dev, proc and sys gets created with mapped permissions(499:100), but container fails to start.
Any help or direction how to get this working would be appriciated,
Thanks, Jaka Hudoklin!
