[libvirt-users] Mounting directory as readonly within LXC

Hello Is there a way to mount a directory as readonly when using LXC with libvirt? Something like: <filesystem type="mount"> <source dir="/sw/py27/python2.7_x86_64"/> <target dir="/opt//py27"/> <readonly/> </filesystem> The documentation says readonly only works with KVM/QEMU. Regards, Harish

That's a bug in our docs. Going through the code it seems like it should work on LXC too. Mind trying out and posting a documentation patch? Michal

Hi Michal Thanks. I did test it out with lxc driver and <readonly/> works fine. I would like to send a pull request/ patch for the documentation, however, I am having a tough time figuring out the source file the domain xml reference section. http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-appdev-guide.git;a=tree;f=en-US;h=e620f903... I even tried to lookup form the gitweb interface - no luck. Which file is creating XML reference section?
