[Lxc-users] LXC and NFS

[Trent W. Buck]

I have a working Ubuntu 10.04 host (2.6.32) and guest, using lxc 0.7.3.
When I add this line:

    lxc.mount.entry = fs:/home /srv/lxc/luger/home nfs intr,bg

I get this error:

    root at omega:~# lxc-start -n luger -f /etc/lxc/luger.conf
    lxc-start: Invalid argument - failed to mount 'fs:/home' on '/srv/lxc/luger/home'
    lxc-start: failed to setup the mount entries for 'luger'
    lxc-start: failed to setup the container
    lxc-start: invalid sequence number 1. expected 2
    lxc-start: failed to spawn 'luger'

I guess NFS isn't supported by lxc yet?  I wish it was.

This workaround (bind mounts) works:

    root at omega:~# mount -oro fs:/home /tmp/home
    root at omega:~# grep home /etc/lxc/luger.conf
    # lxc.mount.entry  = /home       /srv/lxc/luger/home       none bind
    lxc.mount.entry = /tmp/home /srv/lxc/luger/home none bind,ro
    root at omega:~# lxc-start -n luger -f /etc/lxc/luger.conf
