Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH container] oci create: fix creating privileged containers
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2025 15:19:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251125141922.165771-1-f.schauer@proxmox.com> (raw)
Previously, creating privileged containers from OCI images failed with:
`unable to create CT 123 - Invalid argument`
This was caused by an empty $id_map being passed to run_in_userns.
This commit fixes this by making the call to run_in_userns conditional,
based on whether $id_map is empty or not.
