    Description

      Hi,

      I found a few issues related to this but couldn't nail anything down close to the exact matter describing below, hence creating a new ticket.

      This is about the MariaDB changing the permissions on the bind mount to a level such that it becomes read-only, then fails to write to the directory, resulting a failure.

      First block below is the error from the docker logs. Second is the compose file I used to build the docker containers.

      /usr/sbin/mariadbd: Can't change dir to '/var/lib/mysql/' (Errcode: 13 "Permission denied")

      /var/lib/mysql/ for more information.
       
      The problem could be conflicting information in an external
      my.cnf files. You can ignore these by doing:
       
          shell> /usr/bin/mariadb-install-db --defaults-file=~/.my.cnf
       
      You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with:
       
          shell> /usr/sbin/mariadbd --skip-grant-tables --general-log &
       
      and use the command line tool /usr/bin/mariadb
      to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:
       
          shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql
          mysql> show tables;
       
      Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths.  Using
      --general-log gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql/ that may be helpful.

      Server OS information

      $ uname -a
      Linux SynologyDS 4.4.180+ #42661 SMP Mon Jun 27 15:07:23 CST 2022 x86_64 GNU/Linux synology_broadwellnk_1621xs+
      

      Notes

      There are two containers created by the compose file. First is the MariaDB and second is the Apache HTTPD.
      Both does the same thing, just bind a read-write (./wp_site:/var/www/html) from the host to the container. Apache HTTPD writes without an issue MariaDB fails (I tried ./wp_db:/var/lib/mysql, ./wp_db:/var/lib/mysql:rw without luck) with aforementioned error. For me, the issue happens only on the above Linux OS, not producible on MacOS.
