Description of problem: systemd-journald from an lxc consuming 100% cpu. this is caused by the fact that /dev/kmsg is a symlink to /dev/console As this is the default fedora 22 configuration, I guess it is a bug in the lxc / lxc-template packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lxc: Version 1.0.7 Release 1.fc21 lxc-templates: Version 1.0.7 Release 1.fc21 How reproducible: systematic Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo su 2. lxc-create -n fed21 -t fedora 3. lxc-start -n fed21 Actual results: systemd-journald from the lxc consumes 100% cpu because /dev/kmsg is a symlink to /dev/console Expected results: /dev/kmsg should not be a symlink to /dev/console Additional info: already "fixed" on the debian, sshd and archlinux templates: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-archlinux:133:lxc.kmsg=0 /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-sshd:132:lxc.kmsg = 0 /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-debian:184: echo 'lxc.kmsg = 0' >> "$path/config" worked around in my lxc config with: lxc.kmsg = 0
Already fixed upstream in commit e8a1665, will be in 1.0.8.
