...d ever asked a similar question to Daniel and I was using a thirty-party card. As a container uses a shared kernel with the host, so hostdev mode='subsystem' doesn't make sense. Maybe you can try to use hostdev mode='capabilities'. Please see http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDevCaps Hope this helps Cheng Wang

hi guys With lxc container under libvirt control - how can guest create device nodes? I'm specifically looking for FUSE device. Is it possible somehow to get it to the guest(passthrough?) or allow the guest to create dev node? many thanks, L.

...his process via socket. Ok, so from the LXC driver POV I guess this card is accessed via some special device node with ioctls or something ? If so then you can just expose the device node to as many containers as you like at the same time without restrictions. http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDevCaps Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://l...

Dear Daniel, The thirty-party PCIe card is based on the Xilinx’ FPGA which is off the shelf, the main features are as follows: 1) x8 Gen3, 8Gb/s per lane/direction 2) MSI and legacy interrupt support 3) Scatter-gather packet DMA engine provide by Northwest Logic We hope multiple Linux Containers to access the PCIe card in time division mode, for example, during slot 1, lxc1 read/write the PCIe

I want to run a VPN software inside an lxc guest, but the required TUN/TAP device (/dev/net/tun) is missing in the container. Anyone knows how to enable this device ? Here is the definition XML: <domain type="lxc"> <name>centos</name> <memory unit="MiB">1024</memory> <os> <type>exe</type>

Dear all, There are two containers hosted by my host machine. And the host machine has two same 1G NICs. I want to assign a dedicated NIC to one container. The host and the other container share the second NIC. How can I achieve this? Any comments will be highly appreciated. Cheng

Dear all, I am using libvirt in conjunction with LXC. In accordance with http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDevCaps I pass an InfiniBand adapter through to the guest container. However, within the container the access permissions are not the same. Within the host they are like this: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 56 20. Jun 09:40 rdma_cm crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 231, 224 20.

Hi. I need to use /dev/ppp inside the lxc container, for very ancient software. Problem solved this way: 1) virsh edit container name and add section: <features> <capabilities policy='default'> <mknod state='on'/> </capabilities> </features> 2) start container 3) attach or ssh container, be root: #mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 4) inside

...MKNOD capability. http://libvirt.org/drvlxc.html#devnodes Any device that the container is authorized to access per the XML configuration, will be pre-created in the container's /dev.
