[Bug 820715] Re: sudo poweroff -n within a container just hangs

Of course, but they fail to upgrade because they expect mknod.   As I was
saying, and as the blog you reference shows, you can let the upgrade succeed
by adding mknod to the devices access whitelist.

yes.

yes.

As I say it should be possible to update the lxc-ubuntu template to
create 'lucid-updates' (etc) caches and containers, so that you don't
have to mess with this at all.
