Bind mounts

2012-02-13T10:12:37Z

YuKobayashi:

Bind mounts can be used to make directories on the hardware node visible to the container.

This is how you can make host system's <code>/mnt/disk</code> directory available to a container 777:
<source lang="bash">
CTID=777

cat << EOF > /etc/vz/conf/${CTID}.mount
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/vz/vz.conf
. ${VE_CONFFILE}
SRC=/mnt/disk
DST=/mnt/disk
if [ ! -e ${VE_ROOT}${DST} ]; then mkdir -p ${VE_ROOT}${DST}; fi
mount -n -t simfs ${SRC} ${VE_ROOT}${DST} -o ${SRC}
EOF

chmod +x /etc/vz/conf/${CTID}.mount
</source>

If you want read-only mount, add <code>-r</code> option to mount command.

{{Note|When specifying destination directory, always use /vz/root/ or ${VE_ROOT} env. variable <nowiki>(avoid using /vz/private)</nowiki>}}
{{Note|When binding directories from one container to another, make sure you have proper boot order (See [[Man/vzctl.8|BOOTORDER]] param.)}}
