Description

Hi,
chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/rstudio-servver will fail in prestart for workbench container if you are using EFS for shared storage PV's. By default this s mounted to /var/lib/rstudio-server. This will result in chown failure in prestart-workbench with operation not permitted error. Workaround - values.yaml can be updated to mount shared storage to a different location

Thanks,

Research direction

Start with values.yaml and the prestart-workbench behavior described in the issue, then trace how shared storage is mounted at /var/lib/rstudio-server for Workbench containers. Confirm the EFS chown failure and determine the chart-level change or documented configuration needed to avoid it; done means the prestart step no longer fails for this storage setup.
