Dear List,

is it just on my machine that the lxc\_container module uses the wrong  
path to lxc-create?

> fatal: [xyz]: FAILED! =\> {"changed": false, "command": "/bin/lxc-create --name foobar --quiet --template download --bdev btrfs -- -d centos -r 7 -a amd64", "err": "", "failed": true, "msg": "Failed executing lxc-create.", "rc": 1}

This is a CentOS7 host running lxc 2.0. Both lxc and python2-lxc are  
installed as packages, that I built myself  
([https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:ojkastl\_buildservice:LXC\_Vanilla\_stable-2.0](https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:ojkastl_buildservice:LXC_Vanilla_stable-2.0)).

I do not know if this error is in my copy of the python bindings, but  
a short grep did not show anything.

As this is a community module, I'll have to find out where to report  
bugs. If this is a bug...

Hmm, I should read the error messages more exact. lxc-create actually  
is in /bin/lxc-create.

Off investigating.

Sorry, my fault. One ansible statement did not work the way I wanted  
and lxc-create did not like the btrfs parameter when not being run on  
a btrfs...
