I might be wrong here, but in my experience when I ran CasaOS as a
container in Proxmox I ran into weird permission issues, particularly
when attempting to mount network shares. The solution I found that
worked was instead of running CasaOS in a container, run it inside a
dedicated VM on Proxmox. I used just a basic Debian server installed
on a VM, then installed CasaOS on the VM and I was then able to mount
network shares no problem. Might mean you have to start over with
everything. Which is unfortunate if you already have a bunch of data
in your container, but it is the only solution I found to work. Hope
this helps!

Thanks so much for replying.

I just got it sorted.

All I had to do was to do bind mount in the lxc conf file of the lxc

I set the mount point inside the lxc and the path to where the usb
drive was mounted on the host and now it’s working
