[lxc-users] Best practice for sharing folder between lxc-guests?

[Guido Jäkel]

Dear Andreas, Dear Friedemann,

you should not need the whole path and in my opinion you should not use it because then you don't need to change it if the container root will change later.

But the mount point inside the container rootfs must exist. This is obviously, but i stepped into this more than one time, also.

I'm not shure if this holds on the curren LXC version, but with older ones, the mount point path elements MUST not be identical to the value of the lxc pivot dir. Therefore, i use the "uncommon" value  lxc.pivotdir=.pivot

greetings

Guido
