I followed instructions in the manual page 66 (--devices b:3:0:r --save) for this, but the cdrom does not show up inside the ve. These are my versions:

HN: kernel 2.6.9-023stab043.2-smp on CentOS4
VE: SuSE ELS 10

ls -l /dev/hda (this is the cdrom):
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 May 2 11:18 /dev/hda

my 482.conf contains:
DEVICES="b:3:0:r "

I restarted VE 482. This is my /dev inside VE:

# ls -l /dev

Hello,

1) `--devices b:3:0:r --save` does not create a device node in /dev. It only grants permissions to the device! You can use `--devnodes hda:r --save` command, which not only grants permissions, but aslo creates a node.

2) However, if you're using udev in VE (just check whether tmpfs is mounted on /dev, if it is so, then you're using udev), you need to create a device node inside VE manually once again:

vzctl exec <veid> mknod /dev/hda b 3 0

HTH,
Vasily.

thank you, now hda shows up inside of ve.

But when I try to mount it, I get this:

mount: unknown filesystem type iso9660

Ouch, I forgot you to tell you about it. Rolling Eyes

This filesystem isn't virtualized, so you can't use it easily in VE. If the solution with bindmounts doesn't suite you, then you can make a tiny correction of kernel code: add to the iso9660_fs_type structure's fs_flags field FS_VIRTUALIZED flag:
fs_flags = FS_REQUIRES_DEV | FS_VIRTUALIZED
and then recompile the kernel manually.

Actually we have a enhancement bug at bugzilla: http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559
After fixing this bug it'll be possible to add a wishful filesystem to VE very easy:
vzctl set <veid> --addfs iso9660

But it isn't fixed now Wink

Thanks,
Vasily.
