I'm at my witts end. I've tried everything.
I have an SSD USB Drive that I've connected to Proxmox. I need 1-2 containers and 1 VM to be able to view/write to it.
I edited fstab to include the line:
Then ran mount -a
I then did ls and saw the folders/files on the USB drive.
Then, after installing Turnkey Fileserver, I went to /etc/pve/lxc/ and edited 103.conf to include:
I then started the fileserver and could see the USB_Drive folder and the contents. But the folders all had "nobody" ownership and I couldn't save to it.
The weird thing is that in shell on Proxmox, I could go to the /media/FS_Drive and type touch hello and see the file get made.
But I need the fileserver to write to it, so I found this instructions on making the folder writeable.
As per the instructions, I went back into 103.conf and added the lines:
Then I did nano /etc/subuid and nano /etc/subgid and they now both look like this:
Then I tried chown -R 1005:1005 /media/FS_Drive as well as chown 777 /media/FS_Drive and got "operation not permitted". I tried rebooting Proxmox and the chown commands are still not working on that folder, nor can the Fileserver write to that folder.
What am I doing wrong?
