Building a new server and coming across an interesting issue. If I create a new attached drive to my VM in Ubuntu, mount it at /var/discourse the build fails. I assume it has something to do with links or so I need some specific mount options?

Ive even tried mounting the drive at /var, tried reinstalling and everything.

While the virtual drive mounted at /var/discourse the laucher rebuild app fails, with it mounted at /var …[@embroider/webpack] just scrolls on the screen for a really long time.
