Mount of CT raw file to rootfs

[vince_122]

Hi there !

Sine I've moved to LXC, I am unable to access to the rootfs of my Containers from my host when they are started.

My containers are stored in ".raw" files, containing the partition table, and this files are stored in this directory : /var/lib/vz/images/<CT.ID>/<CT.ID>.raw

I want this file to be mounted in the rootfs directory here : /var/lib/lxc/<CT.ID>/rootfs when my containers are started. How can I do that ?

When I'm starting the Container in foreground mode, I get this log line :
Filesystem type 'fuse.lxcfs' is not supported. Skipping mount.

Thanks for helping,
Vincent.

you can temporarily mount the volumes of a container with "pct mount ID" - but this takes a lock on the config, so you should use it when needed an "pct unmount ID" after you are done.

Thanks fabian for the solution.

But when I start my CT I have this log line :

Filesystem type 'fuse.lxcfs' is not supported. Skipping mount.

Is it normal ?

no, it's not. please post your container configuration ("/etc/pve/lxc/ID.conf") and installed packages ("pveversion -v")

Here is my ("/etc/pve/lxc/ID.conf") file :

debug log (http://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_obtaining_debugging_logs) and output of "mount" inside the container might help as well.
