Description Eiichi Tsukata 2013-08-31 00:53:52 UTC

Description of problem:
lxc-destroy command erases rootfs including /bin/* and /sbin/* of "Host OS".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- lxc-0.8.0-2.fc19.x86_64
- lxc-templates-0.8.0-2.fc19.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # lxc-create -t busybox -n test
2. # lxc-start -n test
lxc-start: Invalid argument - pivot_root syscall failed
lxc-start: failed to setup pivot root
lxc-start: failed to set rootfs for 'test'
lxc-start: failed to setup the container
lxc-start: invalid sequence number 1. expected 2
lxc-start: failed to spawn 'test'
3. # lxc-destroy -n test

Actual results:
rootfs of Host destoryed. /bin/* and /sbin/* all erased.

Expected results:
Only erases designated containers, i.e. files in /var/lib/lxc/test/.

Comment 1 Thomas Moschny 2013-09-04 18:29:49 UTC

Thanks for reporting.

Does the problem persist with the 0.9.0 package?

lxc-0.9.0-2.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lxc-0.9.0-2.fc19

Additionally, I've brought up the issue on the lxc-devel list:

Comment 2 Eiichi Tsukata 2013-09-05 11:45:22 UTC

Thanks for sending issue to lxc-devel list.

I tried lxc-0.9.0-2.fc19 and it truns out that the problem doesn't persist no longer. lxc-destroy worked as expected.
