SOLVED Plex won't allow its data path to be SMB shared

[fatalskeptic]

This will be better documented at release, but to access an App dataset via SMB or NFS you need to disable host path validation in Kubernetes settings. This is a new "safety" feature in Bluefin. Some Apps are not very compatible with SMB sharing...

Unchecking "host path validation" allows you to install the app, but whatever I do the app (Emby in my case) cannot read anything from the SMB shares. It keeps giving permission denied in the log.

I have an "Apps" NFS dataset with an emby dataset subfolder: apps/emby
I have a "Media" dataset which is shared via SMB. I can mount it for the app and it's visible in the app, but it can't read any of the SMB data (subfolders, ...). I've tried adding in the ACL editor "apps" owner (user & group), added the apps user, ...

Never use spaces between words when you create a dataset.

Just found this wonder gem today when upgrading to bluefin and all my containers wouldnt deploy. I have to reboot after unchecking and saving setting before I got rid of error.
