Greetings,
first of all... I hope I am posting to the right forum section. Sunce this issue covers more than one area, I was not sure how to pin point the forum section....
I have an issue creating folders after altering the Dockers path.
As I though I was making a mistake (and that is still possible after all ), I have made 2 clean installs to test the same issue... sure enough, I can reproduce the problem every time.
here below I describe the step by step to reproduce the issue:
1 installed OMV 5 on a raspberry pi 4b with a 1T SSD on USB3 following the instructions as per OMV guide: (https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…ing_OMV5_on_an%20R-PI.pdf)
2 configured SSD and mounted
3 configured folders and shared them using SMB (2 shares for this test)
4 Installed Dockers (using GUI menu)
5 Changed Dockers path and define a new location on the SSD by modifying the daemon.json file (as per description)
6 Here comes the problem: attempted to create new folders (to continue the configuration) and receiving the error message when applying the changes.
No more possibility to create folders.
what did I do:
I clean installed OMV a second time and did exactly the same steps with same results.
Moreover...
I than decided to revert the Docker path location to its original path.
When restored, I was able to create folders and share them again
Peculiar enough, when I look at the Sharedfolders/ the failed attempt folders creation where actually there (can see them in SSH and winscp). But not visible in OMV. I also noticed a difference in permisisons (as after reverting the dockers location path, I have created new folders with same name). only the successful folder creation are visible in OMV
My conclusion:
it seems that if One changes the Dockers path location using the daemon.json file to the shared folders in the external SSD, so to be able to have enough space for the apps, something get messed up with the permissions and no more folders can be created or at least, none can be used after those created before the path changed.
(as far as I know, using the daemon.json, is the only way to be able to effectively change the Dockers path.)
Question:
do any one knows a solution (if exits) to this issue?
Anyone has a Pi 4b and tried to change the Dockers path and tried to create new folders?
Any way I can add the dockers path somewhere in the SSD and be able to share that folder outside the Sharedfolders/ without breaking more part of the system?
thank you
regards,
Kattivius
