[Bug 1474047] Re: pppoe fails inside container

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for the report.

This actually isn't a bug.  The lxc.cgroup.devices.allow line allows
your container to create and use the device, but doesn't automatically
create it.  Assuming you are using the defaults with lxc.autodev set,
you can have it be automatically created by either adding a
lxc.mount.entry to bind-mount it from the host to the container, i.e.

lxc.mount.entry = /dev/ppp dev/ppp none bind,optional,create=file

or adding it to a lxc.hook.autodev hook.

If you want to turn this into a feature request for a 'persistent' flag
for lxc-device, that could be useful, though I think there were reasons
we didn't do that.  Please comment if that's what you want, else I'm
marking it invalid.

** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
