Subject: [PATCH container] fix #7271: exclude non-volume mountpoints from attribute preservation
Date: Fri,  6 Feb 2026 12:02:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206110714.204791-1-d.kral@proxmox.com> (raw)

The commit 0db5595 (mountpoint_insert_staged: inherit attributes if
directory already exists) allows preserving attributes of the underlying
directory that is used as the mount target. Subsequently, the commit
abebdaa (fix #7267: do not inherit host attributes for rootfs) excludes
the rootdir with the $keep_attrs argument from this preservation.

As bind mountpoints might not support chaning the file permissions
and/or ownership, e.g. NFS shares, containers with such bind mounts fail
to start. Therefore, further exclude any non-volume mountpoints as these
are managed externally.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Kral <d.kral@proxmox.com>

Tested this with a debian container and a volume mountpoint, a
bind-mounted subdirectory on the host and a bind-mounted NFS share.
