Is anyone using libvirt for lxc ? I am trying to do so and running into an issue. The system container starts fine with lxc tools and am able to connect to it. Here is the snippet of my xml file (rest is same as in http://libvirt.org/drvlxc.html)  <devices>    <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator>    <filesystem type='mount'>      <source dir='/lxc/f12'/>      <target dir='/'/>    </filesystem>    <interface type='bridge'>      <mac address='52:54:00:82:87:64'/>      <source bridge='br0'/>      <target dev='tap0'/>    </interface>    <console type='pty'>      <target port='0'/>    </console>  </devices> Am able to start the container but when I do console : virsh # console f12lxc Connected to domain f12lxc Escape character is ^] <<hangs here and I press enter, it destroys the domain>> virsh #

Am running Fedora 12 with 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686. I changed target dev='tap0' to 'veth' and no change in the behavior. Please help.

If so, could you try "/bin/sh" instead of "/init"? Thanks. /bin/bash got me to console. But the init sequence for my container is different from the one started using lxc tools with /bin/bash. So I changed it to /sbin/init and now I can get the usual login prompt. Fun doesn't end there. Am prompted for login but the password is never accepted whereas I can login using the same password (as root) in the container started using lxc tools. So eventually am not able to login :-(

I have run into one or two issues though, so much so that I only boot with kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE now. However, these issues may not affect you, and it's been a while so I can't remember what they were exactly. > Am able to start the container but when I do console : > > virsh # console f12lxc > Connected to domain f12lxc > Escape character is ^] > <<hangs here and I press enter, it destroys the domain>> Hmm, when I had this issue I was not really able to get any useful diagnostic information from anywhere. I had to resort to starting with /bin/bash and bringing up everything manually - which is what I still do. Obviously, I hope this situation will be improved in the future!
