hay hi
even i facesd the same issues
this issue is when you use external derive or hard disk path for the volumes it cannot transfer the owner ship of the seafile-mysql for /var/lib/ so at your docker.yml file for the first volumes :
insted of /mnt/user(external hardware path ) just give a system path as fallowing or any path in system itself
volumes :
- /opt/seafile-mysql/db:/var/lib/mysql # Requested, specifies the path to MySQL data persistent store.
second volume can be any of the external drive path
