How do I do I connect a block device to a privileged lxc container at start?












0















I'm looking to install RADOS osds in privileged lxc containers and I'm having trouble setting up the block devices.



I need /dev/sdb, etc. to be connected at container start, before the RADOS osd stuff spins up. I have everything like permissions and app armor set up correctly since I can take a new container, use mknod to create the dev entry, setup the RADOS osd, and everything appears to work. This obviously own't survive a container restart, however.



Note that I can't use an fstab to mount a file system. RADOS's fancy new storage requires block devices. I don't care about security since this is just for a RADOS sandbox.



I've been digging around in the lxc docs, but I can't seem to find anything that helps. I tried an @reboot cron entry, but that appears to happen too late so the osd is grumpy about not having storage. And it looks like udev doesn't work in containers(?)
