[Bug 1075717] Re: mounted-dev must not re-create consoles in a container

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 0.8.0~rc1-4ubuntu47

---------------
lxc (0.8.0~rc1-4ubuntu47) raring; urgency=low

  * 0230-autodev-makedev-console: Run MAKEDEV(console) before creating
    consoles in the container.  This is to make up for the fact that
    userspace (i.e. mountall) won't be doing so, since it otherwise
    would overwrite the consoles set up by lxc.  (LP: #1075717)

Title:
  mounted-dev must not re-create consoles in a container

Status in “lxc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  mounted-dev.conf always does MAKEDEV console.  MAKEDEV doesn't just
  make the devices, it first removes them.

  When a container starts, it sets up /dev/console and /dev/lxc[1-4] as
  bind mounts of ptys on the host, for use as lxc consoles.  If mounted-
  dev deletes and recreates those, then none of the lxc consoles work.

  A simple patch which stops it from breaking lxc consoles is at lp
  :~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/quantal/mountall/mountall-lxc .  However looking
  back at it, I think it would be ok to do a further check for whether
  /dev/console exists.  If it does not exist, then MAKEDEV console
  anyway.  This isn't necessary, just a thought.
