canot ready directory 'xyz/': Unknown error 526

[artemkozlenkov]

Hello everybody, I'm running into this on ls -la /node_modules
for the mounted folder inside the minikube cluster,

issue1562

PR1705

but still no luck.

the folder size is 187 mb only, how big should --msize be?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey @artemkoslenkov thanks for opening this issue. What version of minikube are you running?

Hi there,

minikube version: v1.11.0
commit: 57e2f55

just upgraded to v1.12.0

docker mount $HOME/path/to/node/project:/var/www/front

docker ssh -> cd ../../var/www/front/node_modules --> 'ls -la` = "ls: reading directory '.': Unknown error 526"

basicaly any folder related operations (r+w+x) will throw error 526

@artemkoslenkov what driver are you using ? do you have same issue with any other driver that minikube supports ?
docker or kvm2 or hyperkit ...

Hi, I'm using kvm2 driver on ubuntu, haven't checked with other drivers.

May it be related to what's mentioned here https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/mount/ regarding folders > 600 files issue? In node_modules this may definitely be the case.

How to work around this case?

Many thanks,
Artem.

You can use driver mounts as an alternative to 9p mounting, although that isn't supported in kvm2. It would require use of another driver (virtualbox perhaps?).

thanks for your reply, however, this sounds more like jigery pokery © solution, that's why i consider changing the way I handle dependencies for Node and instead of mounting node_modules simply run npm install inside the container or minikube node, this is however, impo, not consitent with mount concept.

I faced this same issue a few days ago, I could solve it tho by booting my cluster up and mounting the directory running this:

minikube start --driver=docker --mount-string="local_path:target_path" --mount

For this you would have to have docker daemon up and running.
