LXC and mount CIFS share

[NasKar]

I'm running Proxmox 8.2.4. I created an LXC container with ttech scripts with docker to install Frigate NVR in a privileged container. The data I want to send to my TrueNAS Core CIFS share. I can't write anything to CIFS share from frigate and believe I'm missing a step. I hoping someone can help me troubleshoot the issue.

I read this post which I think contains the answer but I can't apply it to my situation due to my limited knowledge.

I've created a CIFS share in my TrueNAS named frigate which maps the TrueNAS directory /mnt/v1/backup/frigate
in my PVE I have in my /etc/fstab

//192.168.5.48/mnt/backup/frigate /mnt/pve/Frigate_Data cifs user,credentials=/root/.credentials/my-credentials,iocharset=utf8,noperm 0 0

my-credentials

username=myusername
password=password
workgroup=myusername

in the LXC container (103) I mounted the CIFS share

pct set 103 -mp0 /mnt/pve/Frigate_Data,mp=/mnt/Frigate_Data

I am able to write a file in TrueNAS and it will show up in the PVE and LXC container. I can also write to the file from the LXC and the edit shows up in TrueNAS. Not sure why frigate can't write to the CIFS share. My guess is a permission issue. Let me know if I need to supply any other info. Thanks

When working with a privileged LXC I would directly mount the SMB share inside the LXC and skip that bind-mounting from the PVE host. You need to enable the CIFS feature for the LXC first via webUI.

I enabled the CIFS feature in the LXC and rebooted the LXC. It seems to work now. Do I need to remove something to skip the bind-mounting from the PVE host?

Spoke too soon. It's not writing the data to the CIFS share.
