I saw that the code released to 2.6.26 was incompatible with sysfs, but that 2.6.29 should have support for both. So, I built: linux-2.6.29-rc1 iproute2.2.6.25 plus the patch for containers support lxc-0.5.2 I can now run lxc-unshare -n /bin/tcsh And, as expected, that process only sees loopback. But I'm having trouble assigning an interface over to that container. I tried doing: # echo > /sys/class/net/eth4/new_ns_pid But there are no entries in sysfs called new_ns_pid. I also tried doing ip link set eth4 newns but I get a netlink error: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument Any tips on what I might be doing wrong, or how to get this working? Since I can do the lxc-unshare, it seems like I'm part way there, but can't move network devices between namespaces. Thanks, Chris
