hello

I want that the home dirs (example: in vz/private/102/home/) of my vps are on an other partition or on a iSCSI device or NFS.
but I want still be able to use quota of openVZ.

how can I do that?
in the example below I have the iSCSI device /dev/sdc1 mounted to /mnt/
and I want the home-folder of the vps 102 to be /mnt/testhome

but when I start the vps quota fails...
se below:

mount --bind /mnt/testhome /vz/private/102/home/

------------------------------------------------------------

with "mount --bind", quotas do not work anymore:

virtue:/virtual# vzctl start 102
Starting VPS ...
vzquota : (error) Quota on syscall for 102: Device or resource busy
vzquota on failed [3]

-----------------------------------------------------------

virtue:/virtual# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1               1       30720    31457264   83  Linux

-----------------------------------------------------------

virtue:/virtual# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
...
/dev/sdc1              30G   11G   18G  37% /mnt

-----------------------------------------------------------

how can I have the home dirs outside of private and still use quota. or is this not possible.
hope somebody can help Confused

regards
kuene

Hello,

1. You're mounting to private directory, that is not right: in order to see information on external mounted filesystem in VE, you should start VE and then mount to root directory:

mount --bind /mnt/testhome /vz/root/102/home/

2. vzquota doesn't support NFS http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219

3. vzqouta only covers one filesystem, but not mounted over it.

So, it is hardly possible to use vzquota in the manner you wish.
