This should be simple. I want to start a VE with a directory mounted outside the private area. How do I do that?

Thanks in Advance ...

Hello,

after start of VE do:

# mount -n -o bind /pub /vz/root/101/pub

where 101 is an ID of VE in question.

If you want to do it automatically on VE start create a /etc/vz/conf/101.mount file with the following content:

#! /bin/sh
mount -n -o bind /mnt /vz/root/101/pub

and add executable bit to this file.

HTH,
Vasily.

Thanks - that's exactly what I was looking for. I didn't know that part about creating the mount file.

Can multiple VEs mount the same directory?
It's fine even if read-only.

And if a file is mmapped from a shared mount, does that duplicate the IO and memory usage?
