Hi, Thank you for the instructions, but looks I did something wrong.
If I create files on the /shared/containerX, they appear properly in the container's /shared directory. If I create a directory in the /shared/containerX directory and mount some other partition onto that /shared/containerX/an_partition directory, the partition's content appear empty inside of the container. It shows properly though on the host machine. Aren't --make-rshared and --make-rslave counterexclusive? -- Arie On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 20:26, Serge E.
