Howdy,
I was playing around with LXC containers this past weekend, and
noticed a couple of issues with the lxc-fedora script:
#1: Line 96 should be ${ROOTFS}/etc/sysconfig/network instead of
${ROOTFS}/sysconfig/network
#2 Line 249 contains a reference to $PKG, which isn't used in the
program. I adjusted the variable to point to the correct package, and
use this in the calls to yumdownloader:
PKG="${DISTRO}-release.noarch.rpm"
.....
yumdownloader --destdir="${CACHE}/partial" "${PKG}"
#3 The $CACHE/partial path is escaped unnecessarily:
RPM="rpm --root \"${CACHE}/partial\""
#4 The program assumes yumdownloader will work, which isn't always the
case. I added an if statement to check the return code:
echo "Downloading distribution release file ${PKG}"
yumdownloader --destdir="${CACHE}/partial" "${PKG}"
RESULT=$?
if [ "${RESULT}" != "0" ]; then
echo "Enable to download the distribution release file"
exit 1
fi
#5 The package name passed to yumdownloader is incorrect:
yumdownloader --destdir="${CACHE}/partial" "${DISTRO}-release.noarch.rpm"
On Fedora 10 and 11, this evaluates to:
fedora-release.noarch.rpm
When we need it to evaluate to:
fedora-{RELEASE_VER}.release.noarch
This is fixed in the PKG variable listed above.
A patch that addresses these issues is attached.
Thanks,
- Ryan

This patch adds the mtu option setting for the lxc-fedora script.

Looks familiar! ;) I was intrigued by this idea last weekend so I
started such a script. However I only tested it as far as creating a
semi-correct rootfs. With the exception of network configs most of the
configs are still written as for debian. For example I know the selinux
policy enforcement settings need to move, the inittab needs to be
replaced by the proper upstart configs, etc.
Of course it's based heavily on Daniel's excellent lxc-debian script.
