[Bug 1378738] [NEW] guest os boot stuck with mount operation error

[Nikola Krzalic]

Public bug reported:

I'm trying to migrate an OS running on a physical machine to an LXC container, but no luck so far. Right now the system gets stuck somewhere during lxc-start:
<...>

 * Stopping cgroup management proxy   ...done.
 * Starting load modules from /etc/modules   ...done.
 * Stopping Mount network filesystems   ...done.
 * Starting set sysctls from /etc/sysctl.conf   ...done.
 * Stopping set sysctls from /etc/sysctl.conf   ...done.
 * Stopping load modules from /etc/modules   ...done.
 * Starting configure network device   ...done.
 * Starting Bridge socket events into upstart   ...done.

<hangs indefinitely here>

Both host and guest are running ubuntu 14.04 LTS and same guest boots
properly via VirtualBox... kern.log shows some issues with mounts:

Here is the container's configuration file:
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf

lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.utsname = myvm

lxc.autodev = 1
lxc.tty = 4
lxc.pts = 1024
lxc.rootfs = /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vmvg-lvroot
lxc.arch = x86_64 
lxc.cap.drop = sys_module mac_admin

#lxc.aa_profile = lxc-container-default-with-mounting
lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = a
# Allow any mknod (but not using the node)
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c *:* m
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = b *:* m
# /dev/null and zero
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:3 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:5 rwm

lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:0 rwm
#lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 4:0 rwm

# rtc

Any suggestions?
