Is there a quick and easy way to allow a VPS to access files from the host outside of it's root?

From the host:
# mount --bind /host/directory-to-grant-to-VE /vz/root/<VEID>/directory-inside-VE

you can add this command to VEID.mount/umount scripts to create this mount on each VE start.

About VEID.umount script: Is there a need to umount something?
It's looks that all mounts inside /vz/root/${VEID} are unmounted automaticaly by openvz tools

I prefer classic style of /etc/mtab (it's file and not symlink to /proc/mounts in my VE0 and VE). I found that vztools do not remove unmounted info from VE0 /etc/mtab. Therefore there is only one line in my vps.umount:

#!/bin/sh
sed -ie "\|^.* /vz/root/${VEID}/.* .*\$|d" /etc/mtab

Hello,

You're right, and your way is good on my mind!

I've used the following technic:
1) in <veid>.mount I have mount with -n option, so no information about this mount appears in /etc/mtab in VE0
2) there is no <veid>.umount at all

But I like your way more,
Thanks,
Vasily
