Hi daniel and all, I have ran the CentOS 5 container on the CentOS 5. When lxc-start executes with daemon mode and without logging, the permission of /dev/null on the host OS changes from 0666 to 0600.
I guess it is because lxc uses bind mount due to remap from /dev/console to /dev/null with daemon mode. The container OS changes the permission of /dev/console at its boot process, and then it influences /dev/null on the host OS. I do not know whether this problem occurs on the other distros. Here is a simple reproduction code: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mount.h> int main() { /* [LXC] setup_console (lxc/conf.c) */ if (mount("/dev/null", "/dev/console", "none", MS_BIND, 0)) { /* (1) */ perror("mount"); return -1; } /* [CentOS] ??? */ if (chmod("/dev/console", 0600)) { /* (2) */ perror("chmod"); return -1; } if (umount("/dev/console")) { perror("umount"); return -1; } return 0; } Any comments and suggestions will be welcome.
