I tried to reproduce this with the standard images.linuxcontainers.org trusty container image, on both a wily and a xenial host, but this doesn't happen with obvious steps (otherwise we would have noticed this much earlier already).
>From the github issue I take it you are using Ubuntu wily -- which lxd package version do you use? The 0.20-0ubuntu4.1 shipped in Wily or some backport? I tried the wily version and that does not even work any more ("error: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type int64" when trying to list or launch from images:), and there's no newer version in wily-backports. How exactly did you create the container? How often does this happen, under the same circumstances? Is this a race condition which only happens sometimes, or is this always reproducible? Can you reproduce this with running sudo systemctl stop proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount lxc launch [...] several times? Stopping proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount will stop the actual mount and go back to systemd providing a "proxy" mount until the first access. Please give me the output of "systemctl status proc-sys-fs- binfmt_misc.mount" and "mount | grep binfmt" before and after the failed "lxc launch". Does it always work after the first failure and after /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc actually gets mounted? ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1555760 Title: Too many levels of symbolic links /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binfmt-support/+bug/1555760/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
