bindmount NTFS drives to CT - No files

[square_eyes]

I have a few NTFS drives I want to mount to the PVE host and bindmount them to a CT. I think I have figured out bindmount OK, and the mount shows up on the CT when I do it without the NTFS drive mounted on the dir (I can create and share files too). However, no files are there, when I mount the NTFS drive on the same dir in the host. When I navigate to the files in the PVE host, they are there.

Here's what I did...

In the host...
mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/bindmounts/ntfs01

nano /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf

mp2: /mnt/bindmounts/ntfs01,mp=/mnt/bindmounts/ntfs01

I also tried chowning the mounted dir in the host and rebooting the CT
chown 100000:100000 /mnt/bindmounts/ntfs01 -R

OK I got it to work. Turns out I couldn't mount a parent directory where sub-directories were the mounted drive(s). You can't tell that's what I was trying to do as I simplified the example above. I was actually trying to do this...

mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/bindmounts/ntfsdrives/ntfs01

mp2: /mnt/bindmounts/ntfsdrives,mp=/mnt/bindmounts/ntfsdrives

I was hoping I wouldn't need a separate reference for each mounted drive (just the parent) but looks like that is not possible.

Any thoughts of mounting the parent dir to all the HD mounts?
