From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; By default files in a FUSE mount can only be accessed by the user which created them, even if the file permissions would otherwise allow it. To allow other users to access the FUSE mount the 'allow_other' mount option must be used. This bug prevented non-root users in an LXC container from reading the /proc/meminfo file. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=967977 Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
