3.0.1 - gentoo unpriviliged container - shutdown not working

Whilst reboot and poweroff are working from the cli in the container shutdown does not however

Upon login to the container

cannot set terminal process group (1249): Inappropriate ioctl for device

Upon shutdown

cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device

Can you run shutdown under strace to see what it may be trying to do with poweroff doesn’t?

Sure, here it is but I would not know what to make of it.

+++ exited with 0 +++

Ok, so all that did is open /dev/initctl and send it a message to shutdown the system, then it exited successfully.

This unfortunately means that the difference in handling shutdown and poweroff is inside the init system. I’m not familiar with Gentoo (and I suspect openrc) so can’t really comment on the expected difference between the two or how to track down what init script it may get stuck on.

openrc it is indeed.

Thanks for having had a look at it anyway. Not that important since reboot and poweroff work and lxc-stop

Probably the issue

cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
exit_group(0) = ?

Maybe even a consequence of 3.0.1 - apparmor denied mount lxc-container-default-cgns

updated the lxc host kernel to 4.17.4 and shutdown from withing the container now works, confirmed by the instant loss of the vpn connection as the container is hosting a vpn server.

But then it does not to the extent that in lxc it is still running, shown by lxc-info even after a grace period of several minutes granted. lxc-stop then takes ages (in the range of 2 minutes) to tearn down the gentoo container.
