Enabling NFS sharing mount bind in Proxmox

STEP 1 - EDIT YOUR LXC CONTAINER CONFIGURATION

nano /etc/pve/lxc/[CTID].conf

STEP 2 - ADD THE FOLLOWING LINE TO END OF CONFIGURATION FILE

mp0: [/host/nfs/shared_path],mp=[/lxc/container/mount_point_path]

for example:

mp0: /mnt/pve/nfs_share/,mp=/data_shared

(note: please make sure you pre-created the /data_shared (mount point) directory in your LXC container first)

STEP 3 - RESTART YOUR LXC

pct shutdown [CTID]
pct start [CTID]


Unlike openvz you do not have to edit / add anything to your fstab file. The next time you enter your container, you will have the NFS share automatically mounted.
