[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#704156: libvirt0 - lxc: Device passthrough does not create directory

[Bastian Blank]

Package: libvirt0
Version: 1.0.2-3
Severity: important

Device passthrough in the lxc backend of a device with an non-existant path
fails:
| error : lxcContainerSetupHostdevCapsMisc:1489 : Unable to create device /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0: No such file or directory

The definition is:
| <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'>
|   <source>
|     <char>/dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0</char>
|   </source>
| </hostdev>

It does not create the directory first and already mounts a tmpfs over
/dev.

Also the devices are always root:root 600.
