[libvirt] libvirt and dmesg

[Cedric Bosdonnat]

Hello Pierre-Jacques,

First note that you posted your message on the developer's mailing list.
For such user questions, rather email: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users

According to https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/manpages//man5/lxc.container.conf.5.html
lxc.kmsg is only used to symlink /dev/kmsg to /dev/console. Thus setting
this to 0 only results in the lack of that symlink. libvirt doesn't setup
this link at all, may be it is coming from the lxc domain root file system.

>From what I see, dmesg doesn't necessarily requires /dev/kmsg (at least
on opensuse). So blocking it may be more tricky. May be you should tell
us more how you setup your container.
