Hi All,

On F12 i was playing with libvirt support for container.
I am seeing two issue over here:
    1> Not able to create a container when start cgconfig services.
    2> When i stop cgconfig, then able to create a container, but seeing 
few error messages to libvirtd daemon.
    3> After creation of container through libvirt, i am not able to 
touch any file or directory.

Attached: vm1.xml , through which i created container. I referred 
following link:

http://libvirt.org/drvlxc.html
http://openvz.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/014314.html

Detailed Bug Report:
When i create a container without starting "cgconfig" service, i am able 
to create but getting some error message in libvirtd daemon:

[root at mx3950 ~]# libvirtd
14:47:24.556: warning : qemudStartup:565 : Unable to create cgroup for 
driver: No such device or address
14:47:24.647: warning : lxcStartup:1462 : Unable to create cgroup for 
driver: No such device or address

such file or directory
libvir: Linux Container error : failed to connect to client socket: No 
such file or directory

such file or directory


But when i start cgconfig service, then i am not able to open console 
for my container. Below is the detailed steps which i executed.

[root at mx3950 ~]# /etc/init.d/cgconfig stop
