[Bug 1226855] Re: Cannot use open-iscsi inside LXC container

 

Bump if anyone has time to work on this it would be a huge benefit to
the OpenStack community.

This is a blocking issue for us too as we're not able to fully use LXC
containers in our OpenStack deployments. Specifically we can not run
nova-compute in an lxc container due to issues with (RW) AF_NETLINK . In
the os-ansible-deployment system we've gone back to installing nova-
compute on the host machine as the default process which ensured we have
functional deployments but it would be great to be able to change the
default such that the deployment had everything containerized.

As mentioned, I have gear that I can dedicate to testing things out but
I don't have time to work through the problems at present.
