== edit/symlink /etc/mtab, /proc/mounts ==
Does anybody have valuable information why this would make sense and if this is needed?

: Linking /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts is needed since VE's root filesystem is actually mounted from the [[Hardware Node]]. Thus, there is no appropriate record in /etc/mtab, so utilities like df fail to work (since they get a list of mounts from the /etc/mtab). After linking /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts, /etc/mtab shows all the mounts, including the one for root filesystem, so df works fine. --[[User:Kir|Kir]] 10:25, 14 February 2007 (EST)
== problem with path ==
Hi all,
This is my first trial with openVZ and a wiki. Please give me some hints, if anything is wrong. Don't hesitate to correct my poor english.
I just installed openVZ on a rather old test box with Debian. Installation failed at first and I suppose there is one command missing in a wrong path statement used for the instructions for debianpackages.
When I came to
<code>vzctl start 777</code>
I received the message
<precode>Starting VE ...VE private area /var/lib/vz/private/777 does not exist</code> Moving the directory 777 from /vz/private to /var/lib/vz/private solves this problem. Now I could start and enter the new VE. --(unsigned) This isn't a very good place to ask for help. You should use the forum instead. See the link for the forum in the sidebar on the left. --[[User:Dusty|Dusty]] 19:00, 9 April 2007 (EDT) == Debian template creation == For backward compablity to main OpenVZ: Create a symlink from /var/lib/vz to /vz<pre> # ln -s /var/lib/vz /vz</pre>
