However, the data dir itself has the correct permissions (drwxr-xr-x). It seems that when lxc mounts tmpfs to /dev it gets wrong permissions (so no non-root user has access rights).
@brauner can you take a quick look into this? I really don’t remember how autodev behaves in LXC 1.0.x
@divB what exact version of LXC 1 is this? Also, if there are some official backports of LXC 2.0.x that you could install, I’d very strongly recommend you do so. LXC 1.0.x is still supported (we’re preparing a new bugfix release right now), but the 2.0.x branch will in general work much better.
