I want to share a directory from an OpenVZ container to another container, how I could do that?

1. do a symlink from /vz/private/109/common-stuff to /vz/private/108/common-stuff ?
2. bind mount /vz/private/109/common-stuff to /vz/root/108/common-stuff ?
3. Share the directory with samba from the container, mount on the host, then bind mount to /vz/root/108/common-stuff ?

Easiest and best way to do this is to do like this :
- create some folder on your host filesystem
- bind this folder in your containers

To do that, the best way is to create a <CTID>.mount in your /etc/vz/conf directory which will look like this :

============================================================ ===
#!/bin/bash

source /etc/vz/vz.conf
source ${VE_CONFFILE}

mount -n --bind /common-stuff ${VE_ROOT}/common-stuff

============================================================ ===

Off course, /common-stuff must exist in your container but with this, /common-stuff will be automatically binded when you start your container.
