Slackware-current, migration from LXC 2 to LXC 4
by petejc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NZ4S)
Any ideas on the least painful way to migrate from LXC2 to LXC4? On updating my machine today I, unusually, found a number of issues. The main one was that LXC had been updated to LXC 4 and it barfed on the config files and would not start and of the containers.
Googling did show a lxc utility to update the config files, but I had no luck with that - perhaps I was not using it correctly? I also had some issue with library dependencies, I suspect unrelated. Given that I needed to get stuff done I rolled back to a pre-update snapshot (I'm using btrfs for root).
Any thoughts on the least painful way to update my lxc configuration? Googling seemed to show very little on the topic which I found strange. Unfortunately it does not look like I could run lxc 2 and lxc 4 side by side to ease the transition.
My thoughts are holding off updates and basically waiting for Slackware 15 to be formally released and dual booting to a fresh install? Or perhaps blacklisting lxc in slackpkg - assuming that I can fix the other library problems.
Any better ideas?
