Errors when move config location

[mcclurclur 0]

Hi all,

I have installed emby with a docker container using portainer for docker manager.  I am using a unionfs volume for all of my data including the config folder.  Everything works great if I leave the default for the config path alone but if I change it to using the custom path in the unionfs volume it throws constant errors and won't even let me load the mediabrowser.  Here is my docker compose file (the path for the config is commented out at the moment so that emby will work) and here is a copy of the latest log file that gets created every few seconds.  The path does in fact work because it puts the error log files in the directory that I am expecting them to.  It just doesn't like something with it.  Thank you for any and all help!

I don't know if this is the best way to fix this or not but I was able to map by it bypassing the unionfs volume and going  directly to a disk.  If this is the best way then I hope this can help someone in the future that is pulling their hair out too!

HI, thanks for reporting. I believe the issue is not specific to custom paths but rather to unionfs. It looks like the file system access in the .net core runtime is currently unable to handle unionfs volumes. We've seen a few similar reports of this before.

Thanks for the reply. You must be right because I ended up having the same issue with installing several other applications on Unionfs.

Thanks for the feedback !

Do you happen to know if the same issue exists for mergerfs? I know this area isn't your expertise.

I don't know for sure, sorry, but it's very possible.
