Creating SMB shares is not working for a single drive setup

[powerman592]

I am following along with using one boot drive and one drive for large storage. I did not delete the lvm storage since I am only using two drives (boot drive + storage drive). I created the Ubuntu container and mounted the storage, but once I get to changing the permissions of new user, I get an error saying "chown: cannot read directory '/docker/lost+found': Permission denied". I think I am getting this error since the tutorial is using raid/zfs, but since I am only using one drive, I think it is using a different file system. Should I just delete the "lost+found" directory in this case? (I installed proxmox with the default ext4 filesystem)

@powerman592 I do not if this is actually recommended but I just deleted by sudo rmdir /lost+found . My understanding is that lost+found is any data that was still on that disk when it was wiped. so if your for sure you have all the data you used to have there you should be fine.

I am having the same issue and using the sudo rmdir /lost+found won't work either. I have tried deleting and making the container multiple times. The data one had no issues but the docker one is causing issues. Even tired it as root even though user "justin" is sudo. See blow for

@TheFrenchy117 Try

sudo rm -r /docker/lost+found

rm -r will recursivly rm all files after warning make sure there was nothing import on your drive before running this
