OpenVZ / Proxmox – How to share folders between VMs or between Host and VM

Notes:

• This must be run on hardware node (host)
• Replace 102 with your container ID (Id of virtual machine)
• Create /common-stuff folder in VM before restarting

 vi /etc/vz/conf/102.mount

paste:

#!/bin/bash
source /etc/vz/vz.conf
source ${VE_CONFFILE}
mount -n --bind /common-stuff ${VE_ROOT}/common-stuff

 chmod +x /etc/vz/conf/102.mount

Restart VM
