I'm currently setting up a container where I would like to have certain mounts
occur automatically when the container is started. I've already verified that I
can mount the NFS filesystems, so it does work.
I'd rather not do all this mounting from outside the VE, using vps.mount and
vps.umount to umount them. But that does appear to be one solution that would
work.
Adding them to /etc/fstab doesn't appear to have any effect, I presume since
there is nothing run by openvz to moung any remaining filesystems in that file.
Also tried adding them to the ${VEID}.start script called by vzctl on starting
a VE, but it appears to attempt the mount before the requried services are
started and thus fails.
I haven't tried using rc.local yet, I don't know if that gets called, but it
might take care of the problem.
So far it appears to me, that the only other alternative is to us autofs, which
is less than ideal due to the way it requires the mount points be configured.
i.e. for 3 filesystems on different mount points, /mnt1, /somewhere/mnt2,
/elsewhere/now/mnt3, I would need 3 separate autofs files to manage them.
Has anyone used anything else to handle this? Or is autofs the generally
accepted solution?
