cannot create directory '/var/lib/pgsql/data/userdata': Permission denied

When running the CentOS 7 based PostgreSQL container I was hitting:

$ sudo docker logs eec18d2f88fa
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/pgsql/data/userdata': Permission denied

EXAMPLE: I want to mount /data so I do the following on host:

# mkdir /data
$ ls /data -all -d
drwxr-xr-x. 2 postgres postgres 6 Oct  7 11:54 /data

and then:

$ sudo docker run -d --name db -e POSTGRESQL_USER=app -e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=$APP_DATABASE_PASSWORD -e POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=app_production -p 5432:5432 -v /data:/var/lib/pgsql/data rhscl_beta/postgresql-94-rhel7

Usage of loopback devices is strongly discouraged for production use. Either use `--storage-opt dm.thinpooldev` or use `--storage-opt dm.no_warn_on_loop_devices=true` to suppress this warning.

$ sudo docker logs db
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/pgsql/data/userdata': Permission denied

EDIT: I needed chcon -t svirt_sandbox_file_t /data. Sorry about the noise, perhaps we can directly specify that in the README?

Can you advice me what's wrong? What additional permissions to set?
