[libvirt-users] lxc - pass filesystem off host's automounts
hi guys in my qutest I have this: ... <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/home'/> <target dir='/home'/> </filesystem> ... and on the host /home/* are user home dirs which are automounted off a glusterfs volume. The guest starts okey, I can see dirs under /home but if I go to /home/userA I get: ls: cannot access /home/userA/: Too many levels of symbolic links Do you know if what I'm trying should just work a okey? many thanks, L.

Unfortunately I don't believe the setup you describe can work. When we passthrough /home it will be marked as a private mount inside the container. This means that any child mounts within it will *not* propagate into the container.

Regards, Daniel Is it possible (and safe) to get fuse dev into a lxc container? many thanks, L.
