-This is an experimental feature.
-Bind mounts allow you to access a directory, or a storage volume from your Proxmox VE host inside a container. There can be many purposes:
-* Accessing your home directory in the guest
-* Accessing a USB device directory in the guest
-* Accessing a NFS mount from in the host in the guest
-Note that the device you want to use has to be already accessible in the pve host. For security reasons, it is not possible to mount a device of NFS share directly in the guest.
-= Step by step examples =
-Suppose you want to access the following directories in your LXC container with ID100:
-* /target which is a local directory
-* /mnt/pve/freenas which is a NFS mounted directory
-Then you need to add the following parameters to /etc/pve/lxc/100.conf
- mp0: /target/test,mp=/target
- mp1: /mnt/pve/freenas,mp=/mnt/pve/freenas
-reboot your container and log in:
- pct enter
- mount | egrep '(target|freenas)'
- /dev/dm-0 on /target type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
- freenas.local:/mnt/TranstecThrough/exported
-= Caveats =
-Setting a bind mount, prevents the backup of the whole container.
-This is to prevent large exported directory that you had mounted in the guest.
