This page describes how to setup FUSE (filesystem in userspace) inside a VE.
FUSE is a filesystem in which data and metadata are provided by an ordinary userspace process. The filesystem can be accessed normally through the kernel interface.
Contents
Preparations
To use FUSE you need the following:
- OpenVZ kernel version 028test005 or higher
- Fuse lib
- Any FUSE-based filesystem
In the examples below sshfs is used.
Setup
Kernel
Download appropriate kernel from openvz.org or compile kernel with CONFIG_FUSE_FS option set
Libfuse
Compile libfuse in a VE without kernel module
# vzctl enter 100 # tar xzf fuse-2.6.0.tar.gz # cd fuse-2.6.0 # ./configure --disable-kernel-module ... # make ... # make install
|
Note: Sometimes libfuse.so.X is unseen by your programs. Usually this file is installed in /usr/local/lib directory so don't forget to add it into your /etc/ld.so.conf
|
Filesystem
Download and compile filesystem.
# vzctl enter 100 # tar xzf sshfs-fuse-1.7.tar.gz # cd sshfs-fuse-1.7 # ./configure ... # make ... # make install
VE tuning
You need to make a characted device named /dev/fuse and grant your VE permissions to it
# vzctl set 100 --devices c:10:229:rw --save ... # vzctl exec 100 mknod /dev/fuse c 10 229 ...
Mounting filesystem
After this you may try to mount FUSE in a VE
# vzctl enter 100 # sshfs root@foo.org:/root /mnt/foo.org.root
Unmounting filesystem
In case of sshfs after umounting an appropriate daemon must be killed. This may be done by the following command:
# fusermount -u moutpoint
Using fusectl filesystem
Fusectl is a helper filesystem for FUSE. You may mount it in a VE as well
# vzctl enter 100 # mount -t fusectl none /fuse_ctl
