I’m having some issues trying to set up persistence on the latest HomeAssistant running on HassOS4.12 on a proxmox VM on an old hp business desktop machine.
The reason i want persistence is as it is recommended in https://github.com/fashberg/WThermostatBeca/blob/a0c6d57c7a9ea49025feda2cebd59055597d35ed/Configuration.md, as i am setting up some mqtt thermostats with autodiscovery using said firmware.
if i set persistence_location, mosquitto fails loading:
mosquitto.conf:
persistence true
persistence_file mosquitto.db
persistence_location /share/mosquitto/
autosave_interval 1800
# The default if not set is to never expire persistent clients.
persistent_client_expiration 24h
log with conf as above:

[11:09:31] INFO: Found local users inside config

There is no /etc/mosquitto.conf on the system, neither is there another mosquitto.conf in the system.
with no persistence location set mosquitto runs:
persistence true
persistence_file mosquitto.db
# persistence_location /share/mosquitto/
autosave_interval 1800
# The default if not set is to never expire persistent clients.
persistent_client_expiration 24h
and i get:

However, mosquitto.db isn´t created (nor updated after i created it manually). I´ve given w rights to root, group and other to the file and directory.
Any ideas on getting this to work?
