Question

I need to mount ploop in read-only mode which resides on a read-only file system, how can I do it?

Using option "-r" will mount ploop in read-only mode. You may also specify File System's mount point after "-m":

 [root@pcs ~]# ploop mount -m /mnt/MyPloop -r /vz/private/100/root.hdd/DiskDescriptor.xml

/vz/private/100/ is a path to container's private area.

For more information please read ploop tool manual:

[root@pcs ~]# man ploop
