Hi,<br><br>Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot but after spending the last 3 hours trying to figure out why my mounts are not working I have given up. LXC mounts them ( i see this in the logs) en lxc_conf unmounts them (possibly due to pivot_root).<br>
<br> Some background:<br>Host running LXC: Debian squeeze<br>Version of LXC: 0.7.2-1<br><br>I have create an LXC container using the /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debian template and this went fine.<br><br>Now on my host i have a USB disk mounted to /mnt/1TB-Movies and I would like to use it in the LXC container I just created. So I add the following to the lxc config file:<br>
lxc.mount.entry=/mnt/1TB-Movies /var/lib/lxc/lxc-file//rootfs/mnt2/1TB-Movies none rw,bind 0 0<br><br>When I now start the LXC container and I set the debugging to DEBUG I notice the following:<br> lxc-start 1290693817.212 INFO lxc_conf - cgroup has been setup<br>
