Hi, I got real issue and please do not tell me this is feature, not bug Smile either, things are very wrong here Sad read on:

I got squashfs filesystem which is obviously mounted read-only. It icludes real openvz environment as well as single VE. The HE works perfectly, but Ve cannot start:

Warning: configuration file for distribution nx not found default used
Starting container ...
Container is mounted
Setting CPU units: 1000
Configure meminfo: 65536
Configure veth devices: veth102.0 veth102.1
Unable to start init, probably incorrect template
Container start failed
Stopping container ...
Container was stopped
Container is unmounted


I need to be able to write on some parts of squashfs, so I copy on boot /etc/ /var and some more directories. The rest of VE's directories are mounted with -o bind option, i.e.:

/mnt/livecd/vz/private/102/sbin on /vz/private/102/sbin type none (rw,bind)
/mnt/livecd/vz/private/102/sys on /vz/private/102/sys type none (rw,bind)
/mnt/livecd/vz/private/102/usr on /vz/private/102/usr type none (rw,bind)

etc.

You would say, that template is wrong, huh? its not, it is perfectly right as when I use rsync to copy the whole container to internal hdd, I can start the container without any problem:

rsync -avH /vz/private/102 /mnt/hdd
mount -o bind /mnt/hdd /vz/private/102

vzctl start 102
Warning: configuration file for distribution nx not found default used
Starting container ...
Container is mounted
Setting CPU units: 1000
Configure meminfo: 65536
Configure veth devices: veth102.0 veth102.1
Container start in progress...

What is happening then? a bug? a feature? maybe I shouldn't have mounted some dirs (proc,sys, I dunno what yet?)

I would be very thankful for any help!
