Hi Bruce,

Recently we found that the lxc ptest has lots of failure cases as below log-1, after checking the
code, some cases failed due to related the init progess. For example, lxc-test-exit-code need to
start container as daemon, but if using bash as init, the container cannot start correctly.
Is there an indication of what busybox is providing that bash isn't ?
In my local setup, when using bash as container init, the container doesn't support "reboot" and cannot start correctly in a daemon mode, test step as below:

lxc-create -t busybox -n t

lxc-start -n t -d

lxc-ls -f

the container "t" status still in "STOPPED", but when we use a busybox init instead of bash, the container status is correct in daemon mode.



I don't like to force this in the ptest, while for actual lxc containers
we still allow bash, which means it may not be functional.
This is a common template for lxc, but I am not sure whether others still need bash as lxc container init, so I based the patch

"template-make-busybox-template-compatible-with-core-.patch" to add the busybox back.



There are other init options in meta-virt, like the docker tini, if we
had to enforce something, I'd rather that than busybox.
Good to hear the tini :)

Indeed, enable the busybox-init might need lots of additional effort to take care of system which using systemd, otherwise, /sbin/init always to be covered by busybox.

Br,

So added a busybox init utils checking in lxc-busybox template, if current system busybox contains
init then use it, after applying this patch, the ptest result as log-2.
