Broken LXC after upgrade to 2.1.0

After the recent upgrade to LXC 2.1.0, the already existing machines do not start anymore, and the `lxc-ls` is complaining about the usage of the old configuration format.

The command `lxc-update-config -c /var/lib/lxc/your-machine-name-code/config` can help to update your configuration to the new format, but it is unable to deal with the removed parameters (see: https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/news/#t … tion-keys)
Note: do not forget to update your deault configuration in `/etc/lxc/default.conf` too.

Running `lxc-ls` is (in my case) returning:

The configuration file contains legacy configuration keys.
Please update your configuration file!
lxc-ls: confile.c: parse_line: 1982 Unknown configuration key "lxc.pivotdir"
lxc-ls: parse.c: lxc_file_for_each_line: 58 Failed to parse config: lxc.pivotdir = lxc_putold

Trying to restart an existing container, or creating a new one from scratch is leading to the following error:

Any idea why?

Re: Broken LXC after upgrade to 2.1.0

when you run

(sudo) lxc-start -n <c name>

what's the behaviour?

which are the configs broken?

could you show us which is the content of template 'my-fancy-container', please?

could you show us the log of starting an already existing container, please? (if I read well, the log was only for container creation)

Re: Broken LXC after upgrade to 2.1.0

@OP - Some of the output of your post indicates that you haven't updated your config for the changes in 2.1.0.  See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=484819
