I recently updated openrc in all my vserver hosts and, when I start any of them, I see strange errors. Here is the boot sequence of one of them: smaug ~ # vserver virtoo start OpenRC 0.12.3 is starting up Gentoo Linux (x86_64) [VSERVER] * /proc is already mounted * /run/openrc: creating directory * /run/lock: creating directory * /run/lock: correcting owner mount: permission denied umount: /tmp/tmp.2yU4NJUxfF: must be superuser to umount * Creating user login records ...

This is fixed by commits 9238d9 and 579838. It will be included in OpenRC-0.13 and backported to 0.12.4.
