LXC and mount point. Permission denied - again!

[stubbo66]

I am fast running out of hair trying to get these bind mounts working. I've followed every instruction on the link but I am still getting Permission Denied messages whenever I try to access any folders from any of the LXC hosts other than using root.

So, I'll start at the beginning....

I have a zfsRaid on my proxmox server that I want to use as shared storage between all LXCs that need access to the content. Currently I have one I'm using for Samba to expose the drive to windows, and another running plex.

The drive is mounted through fine, and following the uid and gid mapping rules I can see that from the host the permissions are the same as when viewed from either LXC.

I have created a user (dave) and group (storage-users) and mapped them to the same uid and gid values in each LXC so they can be used to access the drive.

But this is all I get.....

dave@fileserver:/mnt$ cd Multimedia/
-bash: cd: Multimedia/: Permission denied
dave@fileserver:/mnt$ ls -l
total 15
drw-rw-rw- 7 dave storage-users 7 Apr  1 18:32 Files
drw-rw-rw- 5 dave storage-users 5 Mar 31 15:04 Multimedia

There has to be something I'm missing. I even watched a you tube video and walked through every step, but I noticed that even on there he was logged in as root all the time, and that never fails, but is no use when you need to use the actual uid or gid permissions properly.

I'm new to proxmox...can you tell? So please be kind!

You should show us the ls -la from the host too. And the LXCs config file. And the subuid/subgid files.

Thanks...here goes

This is the ls -la as seen from the LXC

root@fileserver:/mnt# ls -la
total 24
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root           4 Apr  1 18:19 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root          23 Apr  2 10:44 ..
drw-rw-rw-  7 dave storage-users  7 Apr  1 18:32 Files
drw-rw-rw-  5 dave storage-users  5 Mar 31 15:04 Multimedia

and this is what it looks like from proxmox

root@proxmox1:/zfsRaid/shared# ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 dave storage-users 4 Apr  1 18:07 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root          3 Apr  1 18:57 ..
drw-rw-rw- 7 dave storage-users 7 Apr  1 19:32 Files

Appreciate the assistance.

I should say I created the user and group with the correct uid and gid values on proxmox as well so I could see that the names were mapping correctly

 

[fanumtax123]

you need to reset all configuration and install proxmox from the start, i had the same issue

And output of id dave ran on both host and LXC?

 

[stubbo66]

From proxmox

root@proxmox1:~# id dave
uid=1005(dave) gid=1005(storage-users) groups=1005(storage-users),100(users)

From the LXC

root@fileserver:/mnt# id dave
uid=1005(dave) gid=1000(dave) groups=1000(dave),1005(storage-users)

Directories are missing the execute permission?

Doh! I knew it must be something simple! Works now, thanks.
