LXC init.d script

[Chris Kurlinski]

Just found an error in the init.d lxc script

The ebuild depend section is:

depend() {
        # be quiet, since we have to run depend() also for the
        # non-muxed init script, unfortunately.
        checkconfig 2>/dev/null || return 0

        config ${CONFIGFILE}
        need localmount

        local _x _if
        for _x in $(lxc_get_net_link_type); do
                _if=${_x%:*}
                case "${_x##*:}" in
                        # when the network type is set to phys, we can make use of a
                        # network service (for instance to set it up before we disable
                        # the net_admin capability), but we might also not set it up
                        # at all on the host and leave the net_admin capable service
                        # to take care of it.
                        phys)   use net.${_if} ;;
                        *)	need net.${_if} ;;
                esac
        done
}

But the net.{$_if} is wrong. 

Should be netif.${_if}

 

Changed it in my lxc init.d script, and my container start right up.

 

Don't know what to do with the info.

Just sharing.

You should file a report @ bugs.funtoo.org so Daniel or Oleg will see it.

I am an idiot...

I just realised that the last time I did an install, I used netif.${whatever} as the name of my symbolic links in my network configs....

 

Please ignore my failing.

It was an ID10T error #101 - PEBCAK....
