Fail to spawn container: bad file descriptor

[Soulou]

The server is using ubuntu 12.04 64 bits completely updated and devicemapper as a storage driver for docker.

Client version: 0.7.3

root@ubuntu:~# docker run -i -t ubuntu:quantal bash
lxc-start: failed to spawn 'bf7240628e2fb2efd231c021026bd10d7cdfd67aeb61ba96f31dd3adf60108e0'
[error] commands.go:2458 Error getting size: bad file descriptor

#2683

In this case, the error is not exactly the same:

[error] commands.go:2044 Error resize: Error: bad file descriptor

#3387

In this bug lxc-start is giving much more error than in my case.

The Error getting error is linked to the TTY

root@ubuntu:~# docker run -i buntu:quantal bash
lxc-start: failed to spawn '094311954bb645646d150232892bc1d3a2d9b931e621f651f0ef85148db2228c'

The problem persists even without, without any specific error.

With dmesg I have:

[ 2723.960211] EXT4-fs (dm-374): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: discard
[ 2724.321374] EXT4-fs (dm-375): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: discard

[ 2724.430928] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): vethwtCKr2: link is not ready

I've stopped docker, reboot, then move /var/lib/docker, switched to AUFS, same error with new docker directory.

What is your lxc version?

[Soulou]

# lxc-version 
lxc version: 0.7.5

Version from the repository 0.7.5-3ubuntu69

Ok the bug is linked to cgroup-lite. The bug has been reported and has been corrected, waiting for mirror propagation.

This might help: sudo apt-get install cgroup-lite if not already done so.
