I'm trying to mount a local directory to be used by a container in kubernetes, but getting this error:

$ kubectl logs mysql-pd

chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/mysql/': Input/output error

minikube version: v0.33.1

docker for mac version: 2.0.0.2 (30215)

Engine: 18.09.1

Kubernetes: v1.10.11

I'm starting up minikube with mounted directory:

minikube start --mount-string /Users/foo/mysql_data:/mysql_data --mount
