We also find it useful to use the <code>--restore-detached</code> option for restore to make contianer reparent to init rather than hanging on a crtools process launched from shell. Another useful option is the <code>--pidfile</code> one -- you will be able to find out the host-side pid of a container init after restore.

Also note, that there's a BUG in how LXC prepares the /dev filesystem for a container which sometimes makes it impossible to dump and container. The <code>--evasive-devices</code> option can help.
