Hi,
after upgrading to 7.0.2 I face this errors in the syslog:

This Error is repeated every few seconds.
What's wrong? Everything else is working as I can tell.
 
you have a container with recent systemd that wants to secure services by further namespacing them. this requires enabling "nesting" on the container, to allow it to further setup child namespaces within the container namespace.
 
the journal contains the PID of the container systemd, the process tree (ps faxl) should show you which container it belongs too. alternatively, /proc/PIDOFSYSTEMD/cgroup should also give you the container ID.
