How to avoid loop limitation in a openvz container?
- by mat.viguier
On a openVZ containing Deb7 I need to lock the maximum size of a folder, which is used to upload on a php based web server. The directory is synced, so I have to lock the maxsize. MAXSIZE should be upgradable by adding some physical disk later ...
I want to use a file as a block device for a file system. So I have done :
dd if=/dev/zero of=/disk2/filesystem.dat bs=1M count=100
Then, I made the filesystem on it
mkfs.ext4 filesystem.dat
Then I tried to mount it :
mkdir /opt/filesystem ; mount /disk2/filesystem.dat /opt/filesystem
My OpenVZ (it is on a VPS) has no loop module in the kernerl. So I got
Could not find any loop device as usual under OpenVz
So i think I have to use FUSE, but I really do not know HOW ....
Any idea on locking the size of directory under OpenVZ ?
