Upgraded to 22.12.1 from 22.12.0, now apps with SMB shared host paths won't deploy

SMB is windows shares would be one hell of a mess trying to add NFS SUPPORT TO windows

You seem to be laboring under a misconception that Windows does not support NFS.

Hi,

I've just upgraded to 22.12.1 from 22.12.0, and now apps such as sonarr, radarr etc. will not deploy where they have a host path set which is also SMB shared. I know this has been discussed a lot previously, but the behaviour seems to have changed from 22.12.0 in that this wasn't a problem where a *parent* path was SMB shared.

For example:
SMB share: /mnt/rpool/media
Host path mount for the app: /mnt/rpool/media/tv

The above scenario was not a problem in 22.12.0, but now seems to be a problem in 22.12.1.

I know I can disable host path safety checks, but before I do, is anyone else having this issue and is there a different fix? Is there more strict checking in 22.12.1?

Thanks,
Rich

For example I fixed this very easely. This was my setup

SMB mount under shares: /mnt/EXT_5TB_USB
Under dataset it appeared as:
EXT_5TB_USB.....role SMB
...>ix-applications
...>media

I fixed it by changing the share to /mnt/EXT_5TB_USB/media
I then rebooted and the apps started.

Under dataset it appears now as:
EXT_5TB_USB.....role (underlying shares)
...>ix-applications
...>media role (SMB)

Hope this helps some people.
