[Bug 880030] Re: oneiric container problem: missing /run/lock

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for reporting this bug.

This is another side effect stemming from the fact that the kernel
doesn't provide a good way to detect poweroff.vs.reboot in containers
yet.  The workaround is for the container parent to watch the
container's /var/run/utmp.  As a result of that, we can't let the
container mount tmpfs on /var/run, because then the utmp used by the
container would be hidden from the parent.  As a result of that,
/etc/init/mounted-varrun.conf does not run, and that is where
/var/run/lock is created.

This should be fixed in lxcguest.conf, which does the other ugly manual
recreation of things we want in {/var}/run.
