I am trying to deploy a mariadb image on openshift origin. I am using mariadb:10.2.12 in my docker file. It works ok on local but I get following error when I try to deploy on openshift origin. 

> 
> Initializing database
>  chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/mysql/': Operation not permitted
>  Cannot change ownership of the database directories to the 'mysql'
>  user. Check that you have the necessary permissions and try again.

The chown command comes from mariadb:10.2.12 Docker file.

Initially I had the issue of root user which is not allowed on openshift origin, so now I am using 

> 
> USER mysql
> 
> 
> 

in the docker file. Now I don't get warning of running as root but still openshift origin don't like chown. Remember I am not the admin of origin, only a user. My docker file is as follows:

```
FROM mariadb:10.2.12

ENV MYSQL_DATABASE="db_profile"

COPY ./my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
COPY ./db_profile.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/

USER mysql

EXPOSE 3306

```

and on local I run it as follows:

> 
> docker build . -t laeeq/ligandprofiledb:0.0.1
> 
> 
> docker run --name test-mysql -e MYSQL\_ROOT\_PASSWORD=mypassword -d laeeq/ligandprofiledb:0.0.1
> 
> 
> 

Is there a workaround to solve this chown problem?
