libvirt users - Dec 2013 - Re: fuse in libivrt-lxc

Hi,

I created an LXC domain via libvirt (on Fedora 20), but when I'm trying to
mount a FUSE filesystem, like sshfs, I'm getting a following error:

$ sshfs 172.30.15.2:/<mntdir> /<mntpoint>
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first

I see that there's no /dev/fuse device. Is there a way to make it work? Can
I get it working via libvirt domain xml file settings or should I use
something else, for example, edit cgroups settings directly somehow?

Thanks in advance!

Try to add below configuration to your xml file.

<devices>
	.....
    <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'>
      <source>
        <char>/dev/fuse</char>
      </source>
    </hostdev>
	.....
</devices>

Thanks, worked nicely!
