[NGTOne]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?: BUG REPORT

Minikube version:
minikube version: v0.21.0

Environment:

• OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
• VM Driver: virtualbox
• ISO version: testing

What happened:

Mounting /home/sebastian/code into /home/docker/src on the minikube VM
This daemon process needs to stay alive for the mount to still be accessible...
ufs starting
ssh command error:
command : 
sudo mkdir -p /home/docker/src || true;
sudo mount -t 9p -o trans=tcp,port=34143,dfltuid=1001,dfltgid=1001,version=9p2000.u,msize=262144 192.168.99.1 /home/docker/src;
sudo chmod 775 /home/docker/src;
err     : exit status 1
output  : chmod: changing permissions of '/home/docker/src': Input/output error

What you expected to happen:
/home/sebastian/code gets mounted successfully into /home/docker/src on the minikube.

How to reproduce it:

chown -R www-data /home/sebastian/code
minikube mount /home/sebastian/code:/home/docker/src

You'll need to run the minikube mount command as that user if you want to mount a folder owned by that user.
