Bind mounts

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 /mnt/disk directory available to a container 777:

CTID=777
cat << EOF > /etc/vz/conf/${CTID}.mount
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/vz/vz.conf
source ${VE_CONFFILE}
mount -n -t simfs /mnt/disk ${VE_ROOT}/mnt/disk -o /mnt/disk
EOF
chmod +x /etc/vz/conf/${CTID}.mount

If you want read-only mount, add -r option to mount command.
