Magnus, did you run that lxc-create with root rights? On 4 September 2014 07:24, Magnus Therning <magnus@therning.org> wrote:

For various reasons I'm looking into not using `makechrootpkg` when building the 200+ packages I put into a non-official repo. Obviously it's important to keep the building environment separate from my ordinary system environment. Going to full virtualisation is definitely overkill and the only containers I know of are chroots and docker.
If by chroot you mean also nspawn, then it is mostly equivalent to docker and lxc. The only thing bad about systemd-nspawn is its lack of easy config through files (it only supports cmdline switches which is ridiculously cumbersome). Also, docker is more complex than a plain lxc-tools approach.
As always complex doesn't automatically translate to complicated ;)
In this particular case I had no issues with following the instructions I found on docker. While when spending the same amount of time on getting lxc to work I get stuck almost immediately:
~~~~ % lxc-create -n test -t archlinux lxc_container: No mapping for container root lxc_container: Error chowning /home/magnus/.local/share/lxc/test/rootfs to container root lxc_container: Error creating backing store type (none) for test lxc_container: Error creating container test ~~~~
And quick googling didn't turn up anything useful. Reading through the Linux Containers page [1] didn't help either.
