Unable to Navigate into inside container on EFLOW machine about iotedge-eflow HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @Vishwanath-Reddy-M,

Have you tried the same using IoT Edge on Ubuntu? Probably this issue is related to the Moby Engine being used by IoT Edge.

Thanks,

@Vishwanath-Reddy-M, these are the steps i tried, can you confirm - i dont see the problem:

Map shared folder (c:\users\public\for-guest-access -> /tmp/hostshare)
Create folder /tmp/hostshare/container-dir
Create container
Create volume
docker volume create --opt type=none --opt o=bind --opt device=/tmp/hostshare/container-dir bindVol
Run the container using volume mount -> docker run -it --name=busybox --mount source=bindVol,destination=/app --user uid:gid busybox
From container, create a file under /app -> echo "hello-world" >> /app/hw.txt
Verify /tmp/hostshare/container-dir/hw.txt contains file and contains "hello-world"
Verify the same from c:\users\public\for-guest-access

from iotedge-eflow.

map to a folder /tmp (/tmp/sharedfolder) instead of to /tmp

Hi @jagadishmurugan (@fcabrera23 - FYI) as of now we are going ahead with /tmp/ path in file share.

But potentially this (File Sharing command) should either work smoothly no matter whatever target folder specified (we mean command should inform )  OR documentation should tell to end user,  ONLY target Linux machine sub-folders under following root lever folders are allowed in current version) .

From other thread:

[2:33 PM] Jagadish Murugan

we will update documentation to clarify - 

 "When an existing folder is used for FolderSharing (mounting to an existing folder), Linux redirects IO to/from that folder to the mounted device at that location - so the previous contents are effectively hidden. Once foldersharing is reverted, the old folder contents should appear again"
for the above reason, do not mount to any of the system created folders

Thanks,
