Hello Developers,
using Gentoo's lxc-0.8.0_rc1-r4 with a Kernel gentoo-sources-3.3.5 I
observe the following issue concerning the cgroupfs:
For reasons of compatibility I have still mounted the controllers of the
cgroupfs at a single mountpoint /cgroup/ .
# grep cgroup /etc/fstab:
cgroup /cgroup cgroup defaults
0 0
After a bootstrap of the host this shows up as
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup /cgroup cgroup
rw,relatime,blkio,freezer,devices,memory,cpuacct,cpu,cpuset 0 0
If I now try to start the first container, it will fail (for *any* previous
well working container). The important messages in the log are:
lxc-start 1340194612.650 INFO lxc_cgroup - [1] found cgroup mounted

After this first try, there is the new lxc super directory /cgroups/lxc and
the mount options of the cgroupfs now show an additional clone_childern
cgroup /cgroup cgroup
rw,relatime,blkio,freezer,devices,memory,cpuacct,cpu,cpuset,clone_children 0 0
respectively /cgroup/cgroup.clone_children is 1.
As from now, starting of the containers will work:

If manually clear or set /cgroup/cgroup.clone_children and delete/create
/cgroup/lxc it shows, that especial the absence of the lxc super-directory
will reproduce the issue. It will be created by the first start of lxc
afterwards (and never removed afterwards), but not yet used in this run.
Therefore, a quick workaround is to create it in the host init scripts.
