[systemd-devel] LXC not working with systemd 209 or later

[John Lane]

Hello, I have a number of LXC containers that have been working with 
systemd for some time. I have just tried to perform some upgrades, 
taking them from 204 to 212 (actually they are scripted rebuilds rather 
than upgrades).

I have found that they do not work properly with any systemd versions 
209 or later. I have read that 209 was a "massive new release".

Nothing else is changed except for the version of systemd and replacing 
a container's systemd 209, or later, with 208 fixes the problem and 
allows it to work correctly.

I have read the release announcement for 209 and there is a lot there. I 
don't know which of the changes would be responsible for impacting the 
booting of a container. I would appreciate some guidance to help me 
investigate and resolve this problem. Until I do, I am stuck on 208.

The Journal for 208 has more entries than the one for 209.

Many thanks in advance.
