Wrong directory owner when mount persistent volume

[andriishestakov]

When persistence storage for database and alarms enabled, netdata container fails with following errors:

2021-11-30 10:46:04: netdata FATAL : MAIN : Cannot create directory '/var/lib/netdata/registry'. # : Invalid argument

2021-11-30 10:46:49: netdata ERROR : MAIN : Failed to initialize database at /var/cache/netdata/netdata-meta.db, due to "unable to open database file"
2021-11-30 10:46:49: netdata FATAL : MAIN : Cannot initialize localhost instance with name 'netdata-parent-6766956cdd-sxddg'. # : Invalid argument

Directories /var/lib/netdata and /var/cache/netdata where attached volumes are owned by root.

Following workarounds works for me:
Change owner of directories:
chown 201 /var/lib/netdata /var/cache/netdata

OR set security context to run as user 201:

diff --git a/charts/netdata/templates/deployment.yaml b/charts/netdata/templates/deployment.yaml
index c81658c..91bec80 100644

I'm seeing the same thing, but the workaround doesn't work for me.

Hey, what kind of the storage are you both using?

is it still an issue? @garrmark @andreyshestakov
