How to share a directory, such as /home, among multiple vserver guests.
Contents |
Assumptions
Suppose you have multiple vserver guests at locations such as /var/lib/vservers/<guest>/.
You would like to share a directory, such as /srv/common/home, among multiple guests.
Each guest will be able to write to the directory.
Command
The following command will mount this directory for all guests:
$ for guest in /var/lib/vservers/*; do mount --bind /srv/common/home ${guest}/home; done
Note that you might have to (re)start your vserver AFTER the mount for the shared path to be visible under it.
fstab
Alternatively, you may add an entry similar to the below one in /etc/vservers/<guest>/fstab:
/srv/common/home /home none bind 0 0
