 Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2018 10:03 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Problem running lxc containers |
 |
|
Hi All,
I'm using a quite a few linux containers, and after an update i can't start them anymore. The system is running gentoo, and so are the systems in the containers.
The command i'm using for testing is: lxc-start -F -o log -L consolelog -n lxc-dns -f lxc.conf
The consolelog stays empty, the log shows some information:
| Code: | lxc-start 20180122214910.845 ERROR lxc_conf - conf.c:mount_entry:1815 - No such file or directory - Failed to mount "shm" on "/var/lib/lxc/rootfs//dev/shm"
lxc-start 20180122214910.846 ERROR lxc_conf - conf.c:lxc_setup:3127 - failed to setup the mount entries for 'lxc-dns'

The mount entries in lxc.conf are:
| Code: | lxc.mount.entry=proc /srv/lxc/lxc-dns/container/proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
lxc.mount.entry=shm /srv/lxc/lxc-dns/container/dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
lxc.mount.entry=run /srv/lxc/lxc-dns/container/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755 0 0
lxc.mount.entry=/usr/portage /srv/lxc/lxc-dns/container/usr/portage none defaults,bind 0 0
lxc.mount.entry=/var/tmp/portage /srv/lxc/lxc-dns/container/var/tmp/portage none defaults,bind 0 0
|
What's confusing me is that the error message refers to /var/lib/lxc/rootfs//dev/shm but i'm not using that location at all.
I tried to comment out the shm mount entry, in that case the problem starts with the next entry. Besides that, they are both needed inside the container.
I also found a reference to a setting "lxc.autodev = 0" and added that to my lxc.conf, in that case startup works, but the container does only run an agetty process, and does not seem go through the normal startup process to start ssh, and other daemons. The problem there is that console and network access do not work, so i can't see what's going on.
Does anybody have a troubleshoting hint ?

The problem has been solved. There actually where two problems.
The first was shm, which shouldn't be mounted from the containers' config. When i started a container i got no console, that was due to a configuration error, effectively denying all access to devices including /dev/null, which prevented most programs from running.

I had to mount shm from the container's config after postgresql was not able to start in the container with this message in /var/lib/postgresql/10/data/postmaster.log:
| Code: | | FATAL: could not open shared memory segment "/PostgreSQL.1822393874": Permission denied |
postgresql started after adding this line in the container's config:
| Code: | | lxc.mount.entry = shm dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,create=dir 0 0 |
Do you mean that shm should not be mounted in the containers' fstab?
Cheers!
