Cannot mount path on ACI from az container create

[xavis]

Describe the bug

Currently I'm running the following command:

az container create --resource-group $containers_resource_group \ --name $container_name \ --image $image_name \ --registry-login-server $acr_name.azurecr.io \ --registry-username $acr_name \ --registry-password $acr_password \ --cpu $container_cpu \ --dns-name-label $container_name-$container_count \ --memory $container_memory \ --ports 80 \ --protocol TCP \ --restart-policy Never \ --os-type Linux \ --azure-file-volume-account-name $STORAGE_NAME \ --azure-file-volume-account-key $STORAGE_KEY \ --azure-file-volume-share-name $STORAGE_FILE_SHARE \ --azure-file-volume-mount-path $PATHTOMOUNT

I created a file share in my storage account and I want to mount it in /files, so
PATHTOMOUNT="/files"

But I am not able to do that I always receive the error:

The volume mount path cannot contain ':'

If I remove the root slash
PATHTOMOUNT="files"
It works but I need to mount the files in my desired folder.

Expected behavior

It should be able to mount my file share in that directory regarding to docs.

Same here as earlier comments 🤔

I got this exact error when running az cli on windows.
However, I could make a workaround by installing and running az cli in an Ubuntu WSL2 installation.

I had the same issue, I was running the command in Git Bash, I noticed that that git bash is automatically converting Unix-style paths like for example in your case "/files" to Windows paths, so it becomes "C:/path/to/git/files", so what I did is before "az container create" do "MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 az container create", not sure if this is the solution, but it worked for me
