#No root on pod. Cannot write to workspace.

I've tried launching a new pod, but same error. It was working perfectly fine yesterday, so I'm not sure what's happening or if I should make a support ticket for this.

I've tried

(f2l) mambauser@3ccffae5dc96:/$ chmod -R 775 /workspace/
chmod: changing permissions of '/workspace/': Operation not permitted

(f2l) mambauser@3ccffae5dc96:/$ login
login: Cannot possibly work without effective root

echo "test" > /workspace/test_file.txt
bash: /workspace/test_file.txt: Permission denied

I realized it after trying to use my gdown script and getting a permissions error

Downloading data from Google Drive... This may take a while.
Error:

        [Errno 13] Permission denied:
        '/workspace/data_bundle.ziplw0vwio5.part'

Thank you in advance for any advice.

/workspace is technically not your directory to edit unfortunately (it belongs to the host) but you should still have the ability to write to it so long as it's mounted?

#

Does your started pod look like this with a Volume explicitly named?

Yes, it's explicitly listed as /workspace in my dashboard

There should also still be files in /workspace/ from the other day, but when I ls workspace, it returns empty, so potentially I can't even read it? Though, I assumed the files were just deleted (which is a nonissue if so).

Mine also installs mamba (and packages you can specify yourself) and should use root to avoid this kinda stuff

mambauser isnt a good default but common
