Hi Vidhya,

I don't know if you noticed in my post I said that I had it working but not using OpenVZ. I use a chroot built with "debootsrap" and I use "schroot" to access the chroot - it allows non root access and it configures bind mounts automatically. You do need 1.2 version of schroot, however, which I back-ported using "prevu".

I did this because I wanted to run the X-Plane flight sim which only comes as a 32 bit app. Initially I tried building a VPS but failed due to the need for direct access to the host's graphics driver, so I went the chroot route and it worked fine for my needs.

If you are interested I have documented the process on the X-Plane forum here:

I guess this is all a little off topic for OpenVZ though Embarassed
