Subject: Adding a mount after container is running?
Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 12:52:59 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CD130FB.9060408@msgid.tls.msk.ru> (raw)
Hello.
What is the way to add a new filesystem mount to
an already running container? I want to "propagate"
a newly created filesystem, or another part of host
filesystem, to a container without restarting it.
I can imagine a way to "propagate" a new filesystem -
by (maybe temporarily) granting access for the
block device in question to the container and
doing a real mount from there. I'm not sure if
it's equivalent to a bind-mount in terms of
resulting behavour (I sent this question to
lkml a few mins ago), but at least this is
easily doable.
But if I want to add a part of existing filesystem
tree to my container, things becomes somewhat less
clean. Still doable in a similar way - by mounting
it in container in a temp place, bind-mounting a
needed part to the right place, and umounting the
temp one. But it's not clean ;)
Is there a better way?
Thanks!
