Cant seem to mount volume with neo4j 3.3.9 (path in use?)

Neo4j Graph Platform Aura & Cloud

Hi David,

Indeed, it was an issue of rights of writing data to Azure. In particular in the setup of the StorageClass in Kubernetes, you can set additional mountOptions. One of those is the uid which should be set to 100 - the user id used for neo4j.

Example of the StorageClass yaml:

kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: azurefile-neo4j
provisioner: kubernetes.io/azure-file
reclaimPolicy: Retain
mountOptions:
  - dir_mode=0755
  - file_mode=0755
  - uid=100 # Allow write access for neo4j
  - gid=1000
parameters:
  skuName: Standard_LRS

It is curious though that the file /data/dbms was written successful before, while /data/databases could not be written. Seems that dbms and databases are created by different users? But that would be a separate question.
