Right, that's caused by the fact that /dev/console is a bind mounted file in LXC containers. I'm not sure what we can do to avoid this issue, ignoring the error completely in makedev sounds bad and would just be an ugly workaround for an LXC issue.
On LXC's side, we need these bind mounts until we get a device namespace, at least it's extremely rare makedev gets updated so it's unlikely to be an issue for our post-release users. Serge: Any other idea on how to solve this? (I'm guessing the udev bug in bug 927531 may have the same cause) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927519 Title: makedev fails to upgrade in lxc container with error 'Device or resource busy' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/makedev/+bug/927519/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
