Hello,

I want to selectively mount parts of sys and proc rw, but the rest
ro.  I thought I might be able to e.g., mount /sys ro (in the
container), and mount /.sys rw (in the container), then bind mount
bits from /.sys to /sys, and finally hide the rw /.sys by mounting
another directory on top of it, like:

lxc.mount.entry = sysfs sys sysfs ro 0 0
lxc.mount.entry = sysfs .sys sysfs rw 0 0        # (dot)sys

lxc.mount.entry = /var/lib/lxc/container/.sys/module/ipv6
sys/module/ipv6 none defaults,bind 0 0
# or alternatively (also doesn't work) this instead of line above
#lxc.mount.entry = .sys/module/ipv6 sys/module/ipv6 none defaults,bind 0 0

lxc.mount.entry = /var/lib/lxc/dummy_mount .sys none ro,bind 0 0


The part where I try to perform the bind mount of the read/write
.sys/module/ipv6 (in the container) on top of the read only
sys/module/ipv6  (in the container) fails.  Is there  a way to get
this to work?
Wouldn't it be simpler to simply bind mount /sys ro from the host,
then bind-mount /sys/module/ipv6 from the host rw into the container?

I thought there would be issues with namespace support. I thought it would break network namespaces, which appears to be wrong from your comment. But, I also don't see how this can work with user namespaces, since root in container will not be able to write to the host's /sys, if it is bind mounted. I'm still trying to get a container to work with user namespaces, so my assumption that writes will work to /sys, mounted rw via lxc.mount.entry, is untested.


I assume your container won't have cap_sys_admin to prevent remounting?

Correct.

Thnx,

g
