Could you tell me whether OpenVZ supports accessing physical devices on the Host from the VE?
The plan is, amongst other things, to setup an Asterisk container and if I need to perform any system upgrades, I envisage just swapping migrating the container to another host.
It's a home network only so...
But lspci seems not to work. Should it?
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.
What can I do to get this working then?
Thanks
Simon

In general, it should be possible to get access to analog telephony drivers by that the same technique like in case of ztdummy. You need:
1. install kernel drivers for your device on HN in usual way:
put your *.ko to /lib/modules/you_kernel and then modprobe you_module_name
2. declare it visible in relevant CT by
vzctl set CTID --devnodes you_device_file_name:rw --save.
Here's imperative to remember that device drivers are to be loaded on HN, in CT it's not allowed, while Asterisk software will perfectly run in CT.
That's it. But, please, take a note, that I never tested this since I don't have the corresponding hardware.

and the web interface works. Suspect Smoothwall would need to add in some fixes though.
