Dear Andreas, In spite of this should be possible; from an abstract viewpoint it's better to mount the NFS source on the host and propagate it via a bind mount to the container. Particularly if you want to use this nfs source in more than one container on this host.
Independent from that I want to point you to the fact that you may use a relative path (here: 'home') for the location inside your container instead of the absolute (which may change) Greetings Guido >-----Original Message----- >From: Andreas Laut [mailto:andreas.l...@spark5.de] >Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 2:33 PM >To: lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: [Lxc-users] mounting nfs not working > >Hi list. > >I've tried to mount an external nfs mount into a container.
