[Bug 981955] Re: lxc-execute without config does not seem to work in precise

[Serge Hallyn]

** Also affects: lxc (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

+ ======================================
+ SRU Justification:
+ Impact: application containers cannot be used without rootfs
+ Stable fix: will be same as development fix
+ Development fix: don't try to pin rootfs is rootfs is null, and don't try
+  to mount /proc if rootfs is null.
+ Test case:
+  cat > lxc.conf << EOF
+ lxc.aa_profile = unconfined
+ EOF
+  lxc-execute -n test -f lxc.conf /bin/bash
+ Regression potential: In normal containers, rootfs is not null, so these paths
+  should not be affected
+ ======================================
+ 
  per http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/introducing-linux-
  virtual-containers-with-lxc/1289
  
  a minimal trival lxc should be doable as
  
  lxc-execute -n test /bin/bash
  
  but on my precise laptop this results in:
  
  sudo lxc-execute -n test /bin/bash
  lxc-execute: Invalid argument - failed to get real path for '(null)'
  lxc-execute: failed to pin the container's rootfs
  lxc-execute: failed to spawn 'test'
  lxc-execute: No such file or directory - failed to remove cgroup '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset//lxc/test'
