Hi,all:

         the problem came out when selinux was enforced in targeted+MCS
         I start lxc through virsh――“virsh -c lxc:/// start  instance-00004bd6”


1.       When selinux is Permissive,lxc start is ok
The result of “Ps auxZ” is:

We can get into the lxc through “ssh”


2.       When selinux is Enforcing,lxc start bad
Th result of “ps auxZ” is:
system_u:system_r:virtd_lxc_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 root 20624 0.0  0.0 47624 1244 ?  Ss   15:29   0:00 /usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc --name
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c192,c392 root 20625 0.0  0.0 17172 1036 pts/0 Ss+ 15:29   0:00 /sbin/init


                   Only /sbin/init process started, no else. This is the real problem
                   There is avc error messages in dmesg、/var/log/messages、/var/log/secure, and the same with selinux is Permissive

         Can anybody give some hints?


Here are some system information:

Kernel version


3.3.4


Libvirt version


0.9.13


Lxc guest image


Centos 6.3




Lxc xml info is:
