Not a guru answer : the mount points doesn't appear in the host because they are in a different namespace. Each vserver has its own namespace. Namespaces are a linux VFS feature. A process being in one namespace doesn't have the same view of the mounted filesystems as another process being in another namespace. http://linux-vserver.org/Namespaces So if you want to see the mount points of a vserver from the host (be careful, the paths don't take into account the chroot) : vnamespace <vserver> cat /proc/mounts When you "enter" a vserver, the new shell is in the same namespace as the vserver, so you can also administer it. -- Xavier Montagutelli Service Commun Informatique Universite de Limoges Tel : +33 555457720 Cle GPG : http://pgp.mit.edu 1024D/175CE198 _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
