Hi there,

Is there any way to specify mount options for the container's root
filesystem in the container's config when using ploop?

So a normal options string like
" noatime,data=writeback,journal_async_commit,barrier=0,errors =remount-ro ".

Thanks for any hints :)

Hi again,

just a small follow up on this:

Inside the the container I'm able to change the barrier mount option with:

"mount -o remount,barrier=0 /" or "mount -o remount,barrier=1 /"

But changing other options like "noatime" (mount -o remount,noatime /)
fails with "mount: permission denied".

Now I wonder if this is intended or a bug? Why allow changing barrier
and deny noatime option?

BTW: I still haven't found a way to specify mount options in the
container's config :(

Well, I can't tell why it lets you remount with barrier but does not let
you remount with noatime.
But I can tell noatime is not needed nowdays, since relatime is used by
default and makes much more sense.

You can file a bug to bugzilla.openvz.org, component ploop

Again, file a bug (enhancement) to bugzilla.openvz.org, component vzctl.

In fact I just implemented that as a --mount_opts option to vzctl set.
See these git commits:
http://git.openvz.org/?p=vzctl;a=commit;h=af95fbdf

Feel free to test and report your results.

That's really great news. :)

I just checked out the repo and tried to compile with:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr

Now configure complains:

checking ploop/dynload.h usability... no
checking ploop/dynload.h presence... no
checking for ploop/dynload.h... no
configure: error:
The ploop library headers not found or way too old. You need to either
install recent ploop library headers (most probably ploop-devel package),
or use ./configure --without-ploop

Now I also checked out the repo "ploop", but is doesn't contain the
missing file "dynload.h". Where can I get it?

I also wonder how to build the nice tar.gz archives which can be found
on the website. Is there some script to build them once compilation
succeeds?

The file is auto-generated. The best way to proceed is compile and
install ploop package first.

cd ploop
./setver.sh -i

Will build and install ploop rpms for you (and you can use same for vzctl).

Those are produced from rpms using rpm2cpio.

Wow, I finally managed to compile and install everything. It wasn't that
easy because I needed to setup a centos6 vm first as I didn't get the
stuff compiled using debian squeeze. But now it works great without any
problems!
