lxc-start gets stuck after "Starting Bridge socket events into upstart"

Asked by Nikola Krzalic

I'm trying to migrate an OS running on a physical machine to an LXC container, but no luck so far. Right now the system gets stuck somewhere during lxc-start:
<...>

 * Stopping cgroup management proxy ...done.
 * Starting load modules from /etc/modules ...done.
 * Stopping Mount network filesystems ...done.
 * Starting set sysctls from /etc/sysctl.conf ...done.
 * Stopping set sysctls from /etc/sysctl.conf ...done.
 * Stopping load modules from /etc/modules ...done.
 * Starting configure network device ...done.
 * Starting Bridge socket events into upstart ...done.

Both host and guest are running ubuntu 14.04 LTS and same guest boots properly via VirtualBox... kern.log shows some issues with mounts:

Here is the container's configuration file:
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf

lxc.network.type = veth

lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.utsname = myvm

lxc.autodev = 1
lxc.tty = 4
lxc.pts = 1024
lxc.rootfs = /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vmvg-lvroot
lxc.arch = x86_64
lxc.cap.drop = sys_module mac_admin

#lxc.aa_profile = lxc-container-default-with-mounting
lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = a
# Allow any mknod (but not using the node)
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c *:* m
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = b *:* m
# /dev/null and zero
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:3 rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:5 rwm

lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 136:* rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:2 rwm
# rtc

Any suggestions?

Pass the debug flags to upstart:

lxc-start -n <container-name> -F -- /sbin/init --debug --verbose

to see which service is actually hanging.

Can you help with this problem?
