[lxc-users] lxc config device add

[Gabriel Marais]

Hi Guys

I added a block device to a container through the command

lxc config device add vmh01-db-master-01 storage disk 
path=/var/lib/mysql source=/mnt/db-master-01-varlibmysql/


On the container:-
/dev/mapper/3600a098000a2f553000003fe58f63589-part1   50G   52M   47G 
1% /var/lib/mysql


On my host:-=
/dev/mapper/3600a098000a2f553000003fe58f63589-part1 
                  50G   52M   47G   1% /mnt/db-master-01-varlibmysql

The permissions/owner in the container looks like this:
drwxr-xr-x  3 nobody  nogroup 4096 Apr 18 09:02 mysql


I am unable to change permissions or modify the user/group

root at vmh01-db-master-01 [11:24:22] :~# chown root:root /var/lib/mysql
chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/mysql': Operation not permitted


I was trying to mount a block device where my mysql data would live.
How do I go about changing the permissions/ownership?
