Hi,

YES, i have used the search function.... And i found a good thread but it isn't working as expected:

I have a openvz container with a ubuntu 8.04 server working as a db server.

I found the following messages:
Code:
smbfs/cifs isn't virtualized now,
you can't use it inside VE.
All available in VE filesystems resides in /proc/filestystems
file inside VE.

You can do the following to make smb shares available in VE:

On HOST (!):
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.30/test /mn
mount --bind /mn /vz/root/101/mn

After that you can see contents of //192.168.1.30/test
inside VE in /mn directory.
You can automate this process using 101.mount and 101.umount
scripts in conf directory of OpenVZ.

HTH,
vass.

But when i mount a samba share on the HOST (/test)

and then do a

mount --bind /var/lib/vz/private/<vmid>/test

There's no error but when i ssh to the server, i can see no contents in the dir /test

any help???

read again the quoted text and you will see the difference (root instead of private).
