Hi all, so I've been trying now for a few days to set up my homelab
server. I have a single VM (debian) running a Portainer. Then I have a
second VM running TrueNAS with two drives mounted. I want to store all
persistent volumes on an NFS drive shared from TrueNAS however more
often than not, I am getting this error when trying to deploy a
container:

```
failed to chmod on /var/lib/volumes/[...] operation not permitted
```

I've tried running volumes on CIFS but this was even worse as I've
read there is an issue with SMB not being able to change permissions
and owner of the files.

I can run containers for:
- Homepage
- Baikal
- Immich

but getting same error when trying to run:
- Seafile
- Mealie

I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips as I ran out of ideas at
this stage.
