Given an LXC guest with a root filesystem path of /export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root During startup, we will pivot the root filesystem to end up at /.oldroot/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root We then try to open /.oldroot/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts Now consider if '/export/lxc' is an absolute symlink pointing to '/media/lxc'. The kernel will try to open /media/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts whereas it should be trying to open /.oldroot//media/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts To deal with the fact that the root filesystem can be moved, we need to resolve symlinks in *any* part of the filesystem source path. * src/libvirt_private.syms, src/util/util.c, src/util/util.h: Add virFileResolveAllLinks to resolve all symlinks in a path * src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Resolve all symlinks in filesystem paths during startup
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
