Mount ISO image in a OpenVZ container
This page describes how to mount ISO image inside a container.
Original page can be found here: http://openvz.org/Mount_ISO_image_in_a_container
Check/install the fuse module on server node:
lsmod | grep fuse modprobe fuse
You may add to load module on node reboot Create /etc/sysconfig/modules/custom.modules and insert/add:
modprobe fuse
You need to install fuseiso and fuse or fuse-utils into container.
Run on a node:
vzctl set <CT_ID> --devnodes fuse:rw --save
OR alternative you can run the next commands on node:
vzctl set <CT_ID> --devices c:10:229:rw --save vzctl exec <CT_ID> mknod /dev/fuse c 10 229
To mount an ISO image, do next command inside container: Run inside VPS
fuseiso image.iso /mnt/disk
NOTE that depending on OS inside container some things may be differ: for Debian and Ubuntu, install fuseiso and fuse-utils packages (available in repository) for RHEL/CentOS 3/4/5, use DAG's packages fuse-iso and fuse
For example for Debian 8 it's also necessary to run the next command inside container before install fuse:
mknod /dev/fuse c 10 229
It may not work if run on the node using vzctl exec in some cases. SO just keep in mind this.
