Samba in LXD container & Windows ACLs

1

I have created a mamber server running samba 4.10.6 to an Active Directory domain in a LXD container. I have set Windows ACLs on the share in accordance with ethe samba WiKi and they work fine. However if I restart the container, when trying to access the share I get Access Denied errors. Have tried several things, but re-applying the ACLs to the shared folder (even though they still look the same as before) restores access.

It seems that some setting is not being maintained between restarts, but I have no idea where to look. Any help will be appreciated.

I am running Debian Buster on the host and the container. lxd is version 3.14

Thanks,

Roy

Apologies for replying to my own post, but further research showed this type of problem occurs when a filing system is created on the complete disk eg mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb and using that as a device added to the container. Changing that to a normal partition table with fdisk then creating the filing system on the partition eg /dev/sdb1 and using that instead solved the problem.

I hope that helps others who face this issue.
