-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.
-Suppose you want to access the following directories in your LXC container with ID100:
-* /host-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
-<pre>
- mp0: /host-target,mp=/guest-target
- mp1: /mnt/pve/freenas,mp=/mnt/pve/freenas
-</pre>
-alternatively you can set it with pct (see [http://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pct.1.html Manual: pct])
-<pre>
- pct set 100 -mp0 mp=/host-target,/guest-target
- pct set 100 -mp1 mp=/mnt/pve/freenas,/mnt/pve/freenas
-</pre>
-reboot your container and log in:
-<pre>
- 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
-</pre>
-== Manual method ==
-* This works as of 2015-09-13 using lxc-pve: 1.1.3-1 .
-:add this to the .conf file in /etc/pve/lxc
- lxc.mount.entry: /host/folder container/folder  none bind,create=dir,optional 0 0
-'''Note:''' Do not put a '/' before the container target
-'''Note:''' This adds an entry to "/var/lib/lxc/<containerID>/config" in the correct format.  Do not edit "/var/lib/lxc/<containerID>/config" manually as that is overwritten on container boot.
-== Bind mounts and backup ==
-Note that bind mounts are not going to be included when you backup the container by default. You need to
-set the backup flag to include them.
- mp0: /target/test,mp=/target,backup=1
