-== Introduction ==
+#REDIRECT [[Linux_Container#_bind_mount_points]]
-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 ==
-*Note that the "mp0:" mount variant may result in an error "ERROR: Backup of VM 103 failed - unable to handle mountpoint 'mp0' - feature not implemented" on backup of the container. To make backups work, use the "lxc.mount.entry" method described below.
-*Note2 using mp0 mount variant prevents pve-zsync from working. instead zsync fails with ''ERROR Message: disk is not on ZFS Storage'' . for now use the "lxc.mount.entry" method described below.  See bug 813.
-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
-== Another 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=/bkup  bkup  none bind 0 0
-'''Note:''' Do not put a '/' before the target
-== Caveats ==
-Note that bind mounts are not going to be included when you backup the container.
-This is a design decision: since bind mounts might be shared between many containers, it makes sense to backup their content on the host, not from inside the container.
