[pkg-lxc-devel] Bug#1008667: lxcfs does restart on package update

[Andreas Laut]

Package: lxcfs
Version: 3.0.3-2+deb10u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
the package was updated around 26.03./27.03. for Debian 10/buster and so lxcfs restarted.
All lxc got their virtual proc filesystems lost and restart for the lxc is needed. But as we have them productive not all can be easily restarted.

https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs/issues/193#issuecomment-309370327 says that a restart in case of update is not needed. '|kill -s USR1 $(pidof lxcfs' should do. I did not tested it but this 
could be a better way than restarting lxcfs. It would be nice if there 
is a way so avoid lxcfs restart. root at server1 ~ # uname -a Linux server1
