For one thing, the lxc-create can check if it is going to create a 
user-space container on top of the ecryptfs, and warn the user if 
appriopriate with the link to this bug report. That should be fairly 
easy to implement, because on the default setup the ecryptfs would be 
the underlying fs, so there is no need to dig into the nested mounts.

Title:
  sudo doesn't work on unprivileged lxc container

Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “lxc” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit, after adding a user into an unprivileged
  container, the sudo complains that:

  $ sudo su
  sudo: effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?

  To reproduce:

  1. Download and install the Ubuntu amd64 minimalcd
  2. Install lxc on it and openssh for convenience.
  3. follow https://www.stgraber.org/2014/01/17/lxc-1-0-unprivileged-containers/ ; specifically do:
       a) sudo usermod --add-subuids 100000-165536 $USER
       b) sudo usermod --add-subgids 100000-165536 $USER
       c) sudo chmod +x $HOME
       d) create the file  ~/.config/lxc/default.conf with the following contents:
  lxc.include = /etc/lxc/default.conf
  lxc.id_map = u 0 100000 65536
  lxc.id_map = g 0 100000 65536
       e) echo "$USER veth lxcbr0 10" | sudo tee /etc/lxc/lxc-usernet
  (restart is not required)
  4. Create the container with
  lxc-create -t download -n p1 -- -d ubuntu -r trusty -a amd64
  5. Install openssh-server in the container:
  lxc-start -d -n p1
  lxc-attach -n p1 -- apt-get install openssh-server
  6. Add a user "adam" with the group sudo
  lxc-attach -n p1 -- adduser adam sudo
  7. Set a password for the user
  8. Log in via ssh (and provide the password from step 7)
  ssh p1@adam
  9. On the p1:
  adam@p1$ sudo su
  sudo: effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?

  I expected it to make change the user to root.

  lxc version: 1.0.3-0ubuntu3
  $cat ~/.cache/lxc/download/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/default/build_id
