Subject: [PATCH] Improve error reporting with LXC controller
43fe83
43fe83
For
43fe83
43fe83
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927072
43fe83
43fe83
The LXC code would read the log file if an LXC guest failed to
43fe83
startup. There were a number of failure cases where the guest
43fe83
will not start and libvirtd never gets as far as looking at the
43fe83
log file.
43fe83
43fe83
Fix this by replacing some earlier generic errors with messages
43fe83
from the log.
