I have in the container config files:

lxc.cap.drop = sys_admin

Which prevents mounting by the container at all.

File systems are mounted at lxc start via container.fstab, for example:

root at vms2:/lxc# cat fex.fstab 
none /lxc/fex/dev/pts           devpts  defaults 0 0
none /lxc/fex/proc              proc    defaults 0 0
none /lxc/fex/sys               sysfs   defaults 0 0
none /lxc/fex/var/lock          tmpfs   defaults 0 0
none /lxc/fex/var/run           tmpfs   defaults 0 0
/lxc/share  /lxc/fex/share      none    bind 0 0
