Can't Create Containers

[brando56894]

I'm trying to setup an Arch Linux container for Plex Media Server, but it errors out after the "confirmation" step. I have tried to figure out what the issue is but can't seem to, VMs work perfectly.

The error is:

mounting container failed
TASK ERROR: cannot open directory //nvme: No such file or directory

Here is my storage.cfg

dir: local
        path /var/lib/vz
        content backup
        maxfiles 1
        shared 0

dir: iso
        path /mnt/storage/stuff/iso
        content iso,vztmpl
        maxfiles 1
        shared 0

zfspool: LXC_Storage
        pool nvme/containers
        content rootdir
        sparse 0

zfspool: VM_Storage
        pool nvme/vms
        content images
        sparse 0

I have also attached a picture of the configuration settings of the Plex container (from the confirmation page)

we expect the dataset nvme/containers to be mounted at /nvme/containers - you probably set the mountpoint property to something non-default?

I just added it via the GUI: storage -> add -> ZFS. It's mounted at /mnt/nvme/containers

No one else can help? I'd like to put Plex in a container instead of a VM like I currently have it.

I already told you what you need to do - mount it at /nvme/containers , not /mnt/nvme/containers .

Ah, thanks, clearly I didn't understand you. Why is the container location hardcoded and the VM location isn't?

VM disk location is hardcoded as well.. but it is decided by udev and not exposed as a dataset property, so you probably haven't modified it .
