There are ways of mounting filesystems through qemu, but while they might behave like bind mounts, they aren't actually bind mounts. Within the guest you could certainly use bind mounts. Bind-mounting from a host into a container isn't a problem since they share the same kernel. A VM does not use the same kernel as the host (granted, with paravirtualization it gets a bit more fuzzy but the same principles apply). -- Rich ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
