Error while mounting volume in azure container instance

Question

I am trying to mount volume by following the tutorial on this link Deploy container and mount volume - YAML. The relevant portion of yaml file is

volumeMounts:
      - name: filesharevolume
        mountPath: /home/indy/.indy_client/wallet/ 
        readOnly: false

volumes:
  - name: filesharevolume
    azureFile:
      sharename: acishare
      readOnly: false
      storageAccountName: xxxxxxxxxx
      storageAccountKey: xxxxxxxxxx

I am getting this error in container logs

 Caused by: Unexpected sqlite error
  Caused by: database is locked

@CharlesXu if i do --mount type=volume in docker than it work in docker but --mount type=bind give same error in docker, so my guess would be that volume mount is of type bind in azure as specifed in the notes of the azure link, so is there any way for mount type to be volume in azure — yatharth meena, Sep 15 '20 at 09:13
@CharlesXu https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/ , https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-volume-azure-files — yatharth meena, Sep 15 '20 at 09:13
Yes, you're right. ACI mount is similar to the Docker bind mount. But ACI does not have the feature to control the mount mode currently. — Charles Xu, Sep 15 '20 at 09:17
@CharlesXu So is there any other way to mount? Also thank for confirming. — yatharth meena, Sep 15 '20 at 09:29

The ACI mount is similar to the Docker bind mount. You can see the Note shows it in the link you provide and the Note. And ACI does not have the feature to control the mount mode. So as you guess, if the job needs to use the volume mode to mount the Azure File Share, then you cannot achieve it with ACI.
