[Lxc-users] lxc.mount and mount.entry not working

[Christian]

Hi,
i have the same problem before.
lxc 0.7.3 change the mount directory.
now is /usr/lib/lxc/rootfs/ for all container. but is not shared with 
other container.
try lxc.mount.entry=/mnt/1TB-Movies 
/usr/lib/lxc/rootfs/mnt2/1TB-Movies      none   rw,bind 0 0

May be, this is the solution.

greeting, Christian.
sorry for my bad english.
