-Container Storage
------------------
-
-The {pve} LXC container storage model is more flexible than traditional
-container storage models. A container can have multiple mount points. This
-makes it possible to use the best suited storage for each application.
-
-For example the root file system of the container can be on slow and cheap
-storage while the database can be on fast and distributed storage via a second
-mount point. See section <<pct_mount_points, Mount Points>> for further
-details.
-
-Any storage type supported by the {pve} storage library can be used. This means
-that containers can be stored on local (for example `lvm`, `zfs` or directory),
-shared external (like `iSCSI`, `NFS`) or even distributed storage systems like
-Ceph. Advanced storage features like snapshots or clones can be used if the
-underlying storage supports them. The `vzdump` backup tool can use snapshots to
-provide consistent container backups.
-
-Furthermore, local devices or local directories can be mounted directly using
-'bind mounts'. This gives access to local resources inside a container with
-practically zero overhead. Bind mounts can be used as an easy way to share data
-between containers.
-
-
-FUSE Mounts
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-WARNING: Because of existing issues in the Linux kernel's freezer subsystem the
-usage of FUSE mounts inside a container is strongly advised against, as
-containers need to be frozen for suspend or snapshot mode backups.
-
-If FUSE mounts cannot be replaced by other mounting mechanisms or storage
-technologies, it is possible to establish the FUSE mount on the Proxmox host
-and use a bind mount point to make it accessible inside the container.
-
-
-Using Quotas Inside Containers
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Quotas allow to set limits inside a container for the amount of disk space that
-each user can use.
-
-NOTE: This only works on ext4 image based storage types and currently only
-works with privileged containers.
-
-Activating the `quota` option causes the following mount options to be used for
-a mount point:
-`usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0`
-
-This allows quotas to be used like on any other system. You can initialize the
-`/aquota.user` and `/aquota.group` files by running:
-
-----
-# quotacheck -cmug /
-# quotaon /
-----
-
-Then edit the quotas using the `edquota` command. Refer to the documentation of
-the distribution running inside the container for details.
-
-NOTE: You need to run the above commands for every mount point by passing the
-mount point's path instead of just `/`.
-
-
-Using ACLs Inside Containers
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The standard Posix **A**ccess **C**ontrol **L**ists are also available inside
-containers. ACLs allow you to set more detailed file ownership than the
-traditional user/group/others model.
-
-
-Backup of Container mount points
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To include a mount point in backups, enable the `backup` option for it in the
-container configuration. For an existing mount point `mp0`
-
-----
-mp0: guests:subvol-100-disk-1,mp=/root/files,size=8G
-----
-
-add `backup=1` to enable it.
-
-----
-mp0: guests:subvol-100-disk-1,mp=/root/files,size=8G,backup=1
-----
-
-NOTE: When creating a new mount point in the GUI, this option is enabled by
-default.
-
-To disable backups for a mount point, add `backup=0` in the way described
-above, or uncheck the *Backup* checkbox on the GUI.
-
-Replication of Containers mount points
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-By default, additional mount points are replicated when the Root Disk is
-replicated. If you want the {pve} storage replication mechanism to skip a mount
-point, you can set the *Skip replication* option for that mount point.
-As of {pve} 5.0, replication requires a storage of type `zfspool`. Adding a
-mount point to a different type of storage when the container has replication
-configured requires to have *Skip replication* enabled for that mount point.
