I have spent a few days trying to fix this and I really don't know what I am doing wrong. I have a Synology NAS set up with my media and am trying to add write access to it from an unprivileged container.
I followed this guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Unprivileged_LXC_containers
I also went to Datacenter > Storage > Add Mount and selected SMB/CIFS and added the IP address and location of the folder I want mounted. I added the username / password and it authenticated without issues.
On the host, I edited /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf and added: mp0: /mnt/pve/sonarr,mp=sonarr
If I boot up the unprivileged container and navigate to /Sonarr, I can see the files on the NAS and interact with them but I cannot make or edit files. Permission denied.
So from following the guide, I did exactly what the steps say:
I went to /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf and added
I edited both /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid with:
root:1005:1
And finally on the host I also ran: chown -R 1005:1005 /mnt/pve/sonarr
No errors ran when I did the chown -R command, but if I go into the directory and do ls - l, the permissions still show as root root 0
If I boot up the container again, I can still access to the NAS but I still can't write to it. I don't know what else to do or what I am doing wrong.

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 64530I edited both /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid with:
root:1005:1
