Weird docker share mounting issue

[dirtrally]

Having a weird issue with my Sonarr/Radarr instances in docker, where they both wont mount shares.

I have my torrent download directory set to primary as cache with secondary as array (since I was filling up cache on large download batches).

 

However, if i mount the download share as /mnt/cache/xxx, then sonarr will mount it (but cant see any files because theyre all living on the array and not the cache drive), but if I try mounting the share as /mnt/user/xxx, then it simply refuses to mount and its not listed as a location in sonarr...any tips?

 

edit: I was getting file not found errors and thought this was due to the fact the volume wasnt showing up in the system section of sonarr (which it did when mounted as /mnt/cache but not when mounted as /mnt/user)...solution was to mount as user, but put a remote path map in as shown below...

Does the docker run command list an error?

Nope, completes fine:

Just in case, heres the docker mappings:

No idea.   /tv doesn't show up in System in Sonarr?

Yep /tv mounts just fine...no problem accessing media items

Well tried something else, and looks like the trick for me was a remote path map like so:
