Hi all! Having a real hard time wrapping my head around a perms issue currently with a drive folder passed into a container. Ran into an issue where from within the containers it does not allow write access to the files in /mnt/pool/media/). The folder is mounted to the container using
Added this to the /etc/pve/lxc/117.conf file to allow permission mapping:
Edited these files on the host as described in the proxmox wiki:

Changed the owner of the bindmounts:
And I'm still getting the same permissions error
Could this have something to do with the drive being pooled using mergerfs? Right now I have 3 drives being pooled to /mnt/pool and that is the drive I am trying to pass into the container. Also if anyone has good resources for understanding the uid/gid permissions that would also be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
pct set 117 --mp1 /mnt/pool/media,mp=/mnt/media. Using touch test.txt to create a dummy file gave me this error: touch: cannot touch 'test.txt': Permission denied. This article seems to detail the permissions issue I am having, as well as this video. I attempted to resolve it in the way that they described but couldn't resolve the issue. Here are the steps I followed: Added this to the /etc/pve/lxc/117.conf file to allow permission mapping:
Code:
# uid map: from uid 0 map 1005 uids (in the ct) to the range starting 100000 (on the host), so 0..1004 (ct) → 100000..101004 (host)
lxc.idmap = u 0 100000 1005
lxc.idmap = g 0 100000 1005
# we map 1 uid starting from uid 1005 onto 1005, so 1005 → 1005
lxc.idmap = u 1005 1005 1
lxc.idmap = g 1005 1005 1
# we map the rest of 65535 from 1006 upto 101006, so 1006..65535 → 101006..165535
lxc.idmap = u 1006 101006 64530
lxc.idmap = g 1006 101006 64530Edited these files on the host as described in the proxmox wiki:

chown -R 1005:1005 /mnt/pool But I'm still getting the same issue when trying to write. This is the output from ls -l /mnt/media in the container.
