Title:
  Unable to start containers after upgrade to 1.0.7-0ubuntu0.5 on trusty

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I got this entry in the config file to mount a folder on the hosts
  filesystem:

  lxc.mount.entry=/media/array/backup/blixten
  /var/lib/lxc/blixten/rootfs/var/backup none bind 0 0

  this is the lxc root: lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/blixten/rootfs

  Nither /media/array/backup/blixten or
  /var/lib/lxc/blixten/rootfs/var/backup is a symlink.

  Error when starting the container:

  root@mail:/media# lxc-start -n blixten
  lxc-start: utils.c: ensure_not_symlink: 1384 Mount onto /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc//var/backup resulted in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/var/backup

  lxc-start: start.c: __lxc_start: 1080 failed to spawn 'blixten'
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 342 The container failed to start.
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 346 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

  
  I had to revert to the older version of LXC to get the containers running again.

  Best regards
  Tobias
