[pkg-lxc-devel] Bug#920985: lxcfs restarted on update instead of reloading

[Sofos]

Package: lxcfs
Version: 2.0.8-1~bpo9+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When updating lxcfs package to 2.0.8-1~bpo9+1 from stretch-backports the lxcfs service restarted
and as a result the running lxc containers lost the /proc/* mounts.

  root at container:/# ls -al /proc/
  ls: cannot access '/proc/stat': Transport endpoint is not connected
  ls: cannot access '/proc/swaps': Transport endpoint is not connected
  ls: cannot access '/proc/uptime': Transport endpoint is not connected
  ls: cannot access '/proc/cpuinfo': Transport endpoint is not connected
  ls: cannot access '/proc/meminfo': Transport endpoint is not connected
  ls: cannot access '/proc/diskstats': Transport endpoint is not connected

the problem was found here https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/4009
and was fixed on lxcfs 2.0.8-0ubuntu1~16.04.2 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxcfs/2.0.8-0ubuntu1~16.04.2
