cannot bind mount in container about runc HOT 7 CLOSED

I actually found the issue
i needed to add 'bind' in the 'options'
{
"type": "bind",
"source": "/home/user",
"destination": "/home/user",
"options": "bind"
}
not sure if this is a bug, but i would have expected type: bind to imply a bind mount

Please don't just paste some logs into an issue. Especially not when they contain markdown directives. Put the logs between tripple backticks: ``` to let the logs render in a nice way.

Currently it has the bind option supported as per the code.

Can you check whether your new directory is created inside your rootfs ?

if err := createIfNotExists(dest, stat.IsDir()); err != nil {
return err
}
if err := syscall.Mount(m.Source, dest, m.Device, uintptr(m.Flags), data); err != nil {
return err
}
if m.Flags&syscall.MS_RDONLY != 0 {
if err := syscall.Mount(m.Source, dest, m.Device, uintptr(m.Flags|syscall.MS_REMOUNT), ""); err != nil {
return err
}
}
if m.Relabel != "" {
if err := label.Relabel(m.Source, mountLabel, m.Relabel); err != nil {
return err
}
}
if m.Flags&syscall.MS_PRIVATE != 0 {
if err := syscall.Mount("", dest, "none", uintptr(syscall.MS_PRIVATE), ""); err != nil {
return err
}
}

It is failing in the following call during the mount
if err := syscall.Mount(m.Source, dest, m.Device, uintptr(m.Flags), data); err != nil

from runc.

I could solve the problem via the code by adding MS_BIND
if err := syscall.Mount(m.Source, dest, m.Device,uintptr(syscall.MS_BIND),data); err != nil {
Instead of changing or modifying m.Flags, add the MS_BIND option in go code..

or modify container.json to include option bind..

@InformatiQ On *nix systems, you need to specify mount -o bind /src /mnt. The -o maps to the option field in the OCF format. There is no such filesystem type as bind. In fact, the type field is ignored in this case and if you make it empty it still would work. So really, it would be surprising if specifying the type of mount as bind would work -- since that's now how mounting works.

@rajasec Please don't post large swathes of code in comments. Please either reference the code lines or just make a PR for review.

that works fine for me
