Hi.

Is there a way to enable fuse mountpoints in Proxmox 4? My aim is to mount svfs disks in LXC containers.

Thanks ;)
 
If you absolutely have to, I would suggest establishing the FUSE mount on the Proxmox host and then using a bindmountpoint (e.g. "mp0: /path/on/host,mp=/path/in/container") to make it available in the container. If you establish the FUSE mounts inside the container, you will run into problems (lxc-freeze is not compatible with FUSE which means no snapshots and no suspend backup, you need to change all sorts of containment settings which lessens security, ..).
 
Can you share a little more on how one achieves this please? I make a connection on the server using:
sshfs myuser@192.168.abc.def:/ /mnt/xxx-win01
(myuser is a valid user on the connected to server and the command succeeds)
The mountpoint is added like this:

mp0: /mnt/xxx-win01, mp=/mnt/server

This creates the mountpoint in the LXC machine, but the content cannot be listed.

:~$ ls -la /mnt/server
ls: cannot access /mnt/server: Permission denied

The mount is world readable though

Is there some trick that I'm missing here?

can you post your container config?

Hi. Is this recommendation still valid with Proxmox 8.1?
 
last I checked, those freezer problems still existed, yes.

So, if I understand correctly, the problem occurs only when I try to take a snapshot with a FUSE mount inside the container.
If you have the FUSE option enabled for the LXC but don't have any mounts at the time of the snapshot, there shouldn't be any issue right?
 
yes
