Hi,

I've seached the docs in vain on executing scripts on start or stop of
the VE.

I'm doing a bind mount on the HN to the mounted VE
($VZROOT/root/101/mnt/..)  as descriped in 
http://wiki.openvz.org/Mounting_filesystems. 

I want to automate this during start and stop of the VE. 

Ideally the start script should run after the VPS is mounted but before
it is started. Likewise during stop - an umount after the VPS has
stopped but before it is umounted.

Is this possible ?

# vzctl start 222
Starting VPS ...
VPS is mounted
--> start hook here <---
Adding IP address(es): 172.16.4.9
Setting CPU units: 1000
Set hostname: test1
VPS start in progress...


# vzctl stop 222
Stopping VPS ...
VPS was stopped
--> stop hook here <-- 
VPS is unmounted

Hello Jakob,

please read the OpenVZ User Guide, at page 88 "OpenVZ Action Scripts".

Bye,
 Thorsten

Yes! - sorry for not seeing this on first read..

Bind mounting works fine during start, but umounting on stop fails.
umount just boils down to a 'umount -v <mountpt>'.

See transcript and full mount/umount script below. 

What am I missing here ? 

I'm using 2.6.18-ovz-028stab051.1 (x86_64) with vzctl version
3.0.22-1dso1

I found the problem. The mountpoint in the VE got umounted by Debians
umountfs script during shutdown of the VE. 

I didn't realize that a VE had permission to umount.
