Overlapping container path rights

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to have overlapping rights within a container? For example:

 

/config --> /mnt/cache/system/appdata/plex (don't know the rights, think it's readwrite)

/mnt --> /mnt (readonly)

/mnt2 --> /mnt/disk1/ASpecialFolder (readwrite)

 

What I try to archive is to give Plex readonly access only to the libraries but give it readwrite access to a special folder where database backups are stored automatically.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Yes.  The permissions given are based upon the container path used to access the files (/mnt will be read only, /config will be read-write, but /mnt/cache/system/appdata/plex if accessed like that will be read only)
