I'm getting something kind of similar without juju. If I remount debugfs
ro in the host then start the container I get this in
/var/log/upstart/mountall.log:

mount: cannot remount block device debugfs read-write, is write-protected
mountall: mount /sys/kernel/debug [143] terminated with status 32
mountall: Event failed

and services don't start in the container. If I completely unmount
debugfs in the host though everything is happy, though debugfs is not
mounted in the container.

Casey/Adam: Can one of you confirm that debugfs is not mounted in the
host when you get the failures? If it is mounted can you paste the
output of 'mount | grep debugfs' in the host?

@hallyn: I didn't find that line you were referring to in
/usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf, in fact I didn't find any
reference to debugfs in any of the template files. And debugfs is not a
ns-mountable filesystem, so I guess it must be a bind mount? So getting
EACCES makes sense if the container tries to mount debugfs, I'm just not
sure why their containers are trying to mount debugfs if not mounted in
the host and mine does not, which is what I assume must be going on.

Maybe it has something to do with that juju-lxd profile. Can someone
paste in its contents (lxc profile show juju-lxd) or point me to where I
can find it?

At this point I don't really think this is a kernel bug. debugfs is
_not_ namespace mountable, nor should it be.

Title:
  LXD bootstrap issues on xenial

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using lxd with zfs block storage on xenial, and having issues with
  trusty containers. I've witnessed this problem when trying to
  bootstrap as well as after rebooting the host and a container failed
  to start.

  In the latter case, the container that failed to start was the juju
  controller:

  c@mawhrin-skel:~/omnibus-layers$ lxc list                                                                                                        [3/3]

  I manually started it, but found that no upstart services were
  started. Remembering this thread,
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/juju/2016-February/006698.html, I
  checked /var/log/mountall.log in the machine-0 container, and sure
  enough:

  root@juju-5f4bd172-ad22-4726-8d84-47185ab31b54-machine-0:~# cat /var/log/upstart/mountall.log
  mount: permission denied
  mountall: mount /sys/kernel/debug [187] terminated with status 32
  mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /sys/kernel/debug

  The problem persists if I stop and start the container. If I remount
  /sys/kernel/debug on the host, then stop and start the container,
  upstart succeeds and the juju controller starts up.
