[libvirt-users] centos4.8 system container not working on fedora 19 machine

[Rahul Khengare]

Hi All,

I am trying to evaluate whether centos-4.8 system container work on
Fedora-19 machine or not.

Host machine             : Fedora 19
Guest (LXC container) : CentOS4 .8

For creation of  of container i followed following steps,

      1. Installed libvirt packages on fedora19

       2. For installation of rootfs using yum, I have created the LOCAL
YUM REPO using CentOS-4.8  ISO files

       3. Created rootfs using yum

       4.  Made changes in container xml file required for system container

       5 .Define container using container xml file

Whenever I start system container it get started successfully but when I am
trying to access it using console then It show errors regarding /etc/fstab
files and filesystem corruption. I am not able to access the container.


Refer below for container xml file and error message,


contents of xml file for Centos container, *Centos4_8.xml:*

filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
