How do you mount cifs to rancherOS for container data storage (FN 11.1-U6)?

[DD4711]

Hello,

I am trying to get a Plex container up and running but it seems I have problems with mounting cifs shares to rancherOS for container data storage. I am using a fresh installation of FN 11.1-U6.

What I configured:

• create a user rancher with ID 1100 and a group rancher with ID 1100
  
• create dataset video (permission type unix)
  
• set permissions for the dataset: user rancher, group rancher (Set permission recursively checked)
  
• I checked with ls -l if all folders and files are ranchers files -> they are
• create a yaml file and merge it with ros config

I tried many many different mount options in the ros configs but I can't get this up and running.
I can't see files in the mounted folder in rancherOS SSH (User rancher, same ID and GID like the FreeNAS User rancher) but I should... sometimes I see files but have no write access...

How do you manage this? How does your mount string looks like? Do I have any problems with user and groups I configured?

Thanks for any help!

All the wisdom I've seen on this says to use NFS for that purpose as SMB/CIFS screws up the permissions.

There are several threads on the forum already explaining how to do that.

OK, thanks for answer. I am currently having a look on FreeNAS NFS and the rancher "Rancher NFS" service but also having problems with configuration :( will maybe open a new thread when my research fails...
