Hi,

I have setup a host\_volume to the data directory of Nomad to be able to read the logs via Filebeat system job. Nomad shows that the volume is correctly mounted.

But when I exec into the task and try to access the mount point of the host\_volume I get a permission denied error. I tried to mount another folder I created in /tmp/ and that worked, so how can I give this task access to the logs in the data directory?

Thanks
