So the reason why this happens is that internally the id mapping you requested will look like this:
NSID HOSTID RANGE 0 1000000 999 999 999 1 1000 1001000 1 1001 1001 1 1002 1001002 999998998 However, the mappings don't include a mapping for UID 0 with which LXD sets up the container. LXC will internally add the missing mapping for UID 0 which means you are trying to write 6 mappings to the corresponding files in proc. But user namespaces currently enforce a limit of 5 limits. ** Changed in: lxd (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692111 Title: Unable to configure raw.id_map with multiple entries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxd/+bug/1692111/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
