Error messages adding device

[richardh (Richard Hector)]

I have a script which adds a fuse device to the container, using lxc-device add.

I’m getting these messages from it:

lxc-device: rh-wptest3: commands.c: lxc_cmd_add_bpf_device_cgroup: 1185 Message too long - Failed to add new bpf device cgroup rule
lxc-device: rh-wptest3: lxccontainer.c: add_remove_device_node: 4657 set_cgroup_item failed while adding the device node
lxc-device: rh-wptest3: tools/lxc_device.c: main: 153 Failed to add /dev/fuse to rh-wptest3

… however, the fuse device exists afterwards, and is working.

I think it mostly/only happens when the container is autostarted at host boot time - some sort of race condition perhaps?

Cheers,
Richard

Lxc-device question - permanent device

Hi, I (and others) have asked related questions before, but got no answers lxc-device seems to be the way to add devices to a running container, but it’s a bit clunky if you want to always have that device available. Is there a way to do this in the config file? I tried with a hook, to run a shell script, but it doesn’t seem to work properly. Thanks, Richard
