For some reason I cannot enter a docker container using Lxc-attach only on EC2 instances. This works on my local machine and on Digital Ocean (KVM) droplets but not on Amazon EC2 xen-paravirtualized Ubuntu12.04 instance. Here are the steps/errors:
root@ip-172-31-46-202:~/scalar/project/docker# lxc-ls
4074ebf985cfe09b2880a9eabbc7ad3e59283f425f64cfaa72f59f1f23661d18
root@ip-172-31-46-202:~/scalar/project/docker# lxc-attach -n 4074ebf985cfe09b2880a9eabbc7ad3e59283f425f64cfaa72f59f1f23661d18
lxc-attach: No such file or directory - failed to open '/proc/19731/ns/pid'
lxc-attach: failed to enter the namespace
Does anyone know if there is a way to resolve this issue? Here are my docker version details:
Client version: 0.7.6
Go version (client): go1.2
Git commit (client): bc3b2ec
Server version: 0.7.6
Git commit (server): bc3b2ec
Go version (server): go1.2
Last stable version: 0.7.6
Also:
lxc version: 0.7.5
What is your kernel version?
lxc-attach requires features that are not present in the native 12.04 kernel (3.5). You need at least 3.8 which IIRC is available in the backport.
