[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#897394: libvirt: Reboooting an application container reboots the host

[Peter.Chubb at data61.csiro.au]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 1:1.4.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I created a simple application container on lxc:// using all the defaults, using
virt-manager, with /bin/sh as the application.  When the application is
run I see a console with  a root shell.  All good so far.

I then want to shut down the container, so I select shutdown from the
virt-manager menu.  But the host shuts down, not the application container.

The same thing happens using virsh directly.

   virsh -c lxc:/// shutdown container1
shuts down the host as well as the container.

Likewise
   virsh -c lxc:/// reboot container1
reboots the host.
