Hey Qiu Yu,<br><br>I am a beginner to both lxc and openstack swift. Can you please clarify some of my doubts related to openstack swift and lxc?<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 8 November 2012 21:39, unicell <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:unicell@gmail.com" target="_blank">unicell@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

But it does not work, console stilll not working.</div>



<div><br></div><div>Before the cgroup tweaking, devices.list are as follows</div><div><br></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>[root@localhost libvirt]# cat /cgroup/devices/libvirt/lxc/instance-0000007a/devices.list</div>

<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m not quite sure what kind of issue could possibly cause this console access issue. Cause I&#39;m now using two different guest OS templates on two different host OSes. Following are some symptoms I observed.</div>



<div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><br></div><div>* (g) for container guest OS</div><div>* (h) for host OS</div><div>* NOTE: Ubuntu guest os are generated by lxc-create -t ubuntu, which is an Ubuntu 12.04 based lxc template.</div>



<div>             CentOS guest os are handcrafted by myself, taking reference of <a href="http://wiki.1tux.org/wiki/Lxc/Installation/Guest/Centos/6" target="_blank">http://wiki.1tux.org/wiki/Lxc/Installation/Guest/Centos/6</a></div>

<div>

<ol><li>Ubuntu (g) launched by lxc-start on Ubuntu 12.04 host, console works</li><li>Ubuntu (g) launched by OpenStack / libvirt on Ubuntu 12.04 host, console works</li><li>Ubuntu (g) launched by OpenStack / libvirt on CentOS 6.3 host, console NOT works</li>



<li>CentOS (g) launched by lxc-start on Ubuntu 12.04 host, console works</li><li>CentOS (g) launched by OpenStack / libvirt on Ubuntu12.04 host, console NOT works</li><li>CentOS (g) launched by OpenStack / libvirt on CentOS 6.3 host, console NOT works</li>



</ol></div></blockquote></div><div>So somehow I feel it could be something related to LXC template rootfs, but Host OS do make a difference (2 vs. 3). lxc-start / libvirt also makes a difference (4 vs. 5), but that might be caused by cgroup setting.</div>



<div><br></div><div>Could someone shed me some clues to further digging this issue? Thanks!  </div><div><br></div><div>--<br>Qiu Yu<br>
