I really don't know what's happening. My main desktop works happily with keepdir, but my test system is absolutely shitting the bed with all kinds of file collissions possibly due to it. Needs more investigating for now.
Since I was curious, I just did also some tests with the previous version of 4.0.3 which was using the "keepdir" method on my homemachine: - emerge -C lxcfs && rm -rf /var/lib/lxcfs - emerged version 3.0.3 -> good: /var/lib/lxcfs exists after emerge - start lxcfs-service - emerged version 4.0.3/keepdir -> aborted error cant write to /var/lib/lxcfs - stopped lxcfs-service - emerged version 4.0.3/keepdir -> emerged but file collision warnings - emerged -C lxcfs && rm -rf /var/lib/lxcfs - emerged version 4.0.3/keepdir -> success no errors (The current 4.0.3 with creating /var/lib/lxcfs in /etc/init.d/lxcfs works just fine here)
(In reply to Hoess from comment #4) > > (The current 4.0.3 with creating /var/lib/lxcfs in /etc/init.d/lxcfs works > just fine here) You mean the current ebuild that has # Getting weird file collisions, # keepdir /var/lib/lxcfs # fowners -R root:lxd /var/lib/lxcfs these lines commented? It seems to be working for me too. I'm tempted to leave them as-is. If that's ok, we can close the bug perhaps?
