what do you mean by that? how is it inaccessible?
what are the exact messages on the screen/logs etc.?
what are the commands you are trying to execute and fail?


After doing vzctl set <veid> --devnodes lp0:rw, there is still no /dev/lp0 device in the VE. As a result I cannot print from the VE. When I set up the printer in CUPS, I cannot set the device URI to the parallel port because there is no parallel port. Here's what happens when I try to print directly to the device:

Quote:


echo "sdfsdf" > /dev/lp0
bash: /dev/lp0: No such device or address


I have found a temporary solution to this problem as follows:
To be able to print to the /dev/lp0 device in the VE, I have to start the cups daemon in the HN. I have to do this every time I reboot the HN server.

Please note that I have already done vzctl set <veid> --devnodes lp0:rw --save.

Thank you.
