Description of problem: LXC 1.0.2 has been released on Feb. 27th. Fedora 21 and EPEL 7 are still providint a pre-1.0 (0.9.0) version of LXC. Big improvements are availble since version 1.0.0 and API are now "stable". Please push LXC 1.0.2 to Fedora 21 and EPEL 7. SPEC files can be provided if needed. Thanks
Another big improvement (from the news release) is that it sounds like it properly handles systemd having mounted the root as shared. https://linuxcontainers.org/news/ (search for rshared on the page) Without this, lxc launches the container in the host environment (i.e., it doesn't successfully change the root to the containers root). It would, therefore, be really great it we could also get this into Fedora 20 (or at least back port the rshared fix). Here's the associated patch https://github.com/lxc/lxc/commit/cc28d0b0a66bd956645dc7b8fc85b917711f2472 Thanks! -Tyson
Actually, it's not the case that root is shared with 0.9.0 but, rather, that systemd is mounting devtmpfs in the container when it's started causing the host and the container to share the entire device space, resulting in the behavior observed. This was fixed in 1.0.0 with further enhancements. We're not at 1.0.3 and about to release 1.0.4.
