Slackware-current on OpenVZ[SOLVED]

I follow this how-to

https://wiki.openvz.org/Slackware_template_creation

Works fine and start container..but only the first time.

Because after remove it,and recreate with

Code:

vzctl create 101 --ostemplate slackware-15-x86_64-minimal

it fail with

Code:

Mount image: /vz/private/101/root.hdd 

Container is mounted

Setting permissions for image=/vz/private/101/root.hdd

Failed to mount devtmpfs: No such file or directory

Unmount image: /vz/private/101/root.hdd

Container is unmounted

Failed to start the Container

I have check the /etc/rc.d and devtmpfs is present in those lines
of rc.S and rc.M

Code:

# Run rc.udev again.  This will start udev if it is not already running

# (for example, upon return from runlevel 1), otherwise it will trigger it

# to look for device changes and to generate persistent rules if needed.

if grep -wq sysfs /proc/mounts && grep -q devtmpfs /proc/filesystems ; then

  if ! grep -wq nohotplug /proc/cmdline ; then

    if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.udev ]; then

      /bin/sh /etc/rc.d/rc.udev start

    fi

  fi

fi

I have tried first with an empty fstab,then with an fstab with those lines

Code:

devpts                                      /dev/pts              devpts      gid=5,mode=620  0  0

tmpfs                                      /dev/shm              tmpfs      defaults        0  0

I tried also without a fstab
But same error.
OpenVZ is 7.0.8

that guide is super-old: today you are most probably better with Alien Bob's script.

last time I tested it was when 14.1 was stable, it might be that you have to substitute the SL_PKGLIST variable inside with a list of packages like the one inside the lxc template for current (YMMV)

Code:

aaa_base

aaa_elflibs

aaa_terminfo

bash

bin

bzip2

coreutils

cyrus-sasl

db48

dcron

dhcpcd

dialog

diffutils

e2fsprogs

elfutils

elvis

etc

eudev

findutils

gawk

glibc-solibs

gnupg

gnutls

grep

gzip

iproute2

iputils

kmod

libcap-ng

libffi

libmnl

libtasn1

libunistring

logrotate

mpfr

net-tools

nettle

network-scripts

ncurses

openssh

openssl-solibs

p11-kit

pkgtools

procps-ng

sed

shadow

sharutils

slackpkg

sysklogd

sysvinit

sysvinit-functions

sysvinit-scripts

tar

util-linux

wget

which

xz

Solution found..bad tar in howto,this line is not correct

Code:

tar czf /vz/template/cache/slackware-10.2-i486-minimal.tar.gz /vz/private/777/

because tar must contain a root /,not a vz/private/777/

the correct line is

Code:

cd /vz/private/777/

tar -cvf /vz/template/cache/slackware-15-x86_64-minimal.tar.gz *
