I'm attempting to launch a container that launches its process by running several commands as another user. The commands are executed using su. I first thought this was a problem in the storage backend, as the container was built on devicemapper but run on aufs, but the container starts correctly when I use docker run. I also thought that this was an issue with the container being privileged, but I've already taken the steps necessary to run privileged containers on my cluster, as well as added the privileged: true flag to my ReplicationController definition. Any help is appreciated.

Kube v1

Docker 1.7.0

Mesos 0.23.0

Edit: So after some troubleshooting, it appears that my issue is that Kubernetes is not setting the container to privileged correctly. Even though I have --allow-privileged=true set for my apiserver, and the below snippet from my ReplicationController:

spec:
  containers:
    - name: oracledb
      image: bradams/devops:oracle-test
      privileged: true

Not sure what else I should be doing here.
