Originally created by @freerunner on GitHub (Mar 2, 2020).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3262

Profile issue with: keepassxc (maybe others as well, just started setting up Firejail)
Runs with --noprofile option: yes

Linux distribution: KDE Neon User Edition (Ubuntu 18.04)
Firejail version: 0.9.62 (from ppa)

My external NTFS data mount points, located in /storage are not visible within the jailed keepassxc.
However, if I comment the line
private-etc alternatives,fonts,ld.so.cache,machine-id
they're accessible again.

Mount options for the drives in fstab:
UUID=[cut] /storage/Data ntfs defaults,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=100,noatime,big_writes 0 0
/storage/Data is whitelisted in whitelist-common.local as well.

Can anybody help?

whitelisting isn't supported for /storage, this hasn't any effect.

Can you run firejail --build keepassxc | grep private-etc and post the output (should only one private-etc line).

Sure.

This is with a stock profile:
andy@X570DESKTOP:/etc/firejail$ firejail --build keepassxc | grep private-etc
private-etc drirc,fonts,gcrypt,kde5rc,login.defs,passwd,

Wicked: After running firejail --build keepassxc | grep private-etc I can see all my mount points in /storage. If I simply run keepassxc from terminal they're gone.

edit: reformat code blocks

I'm back. :)

Okay, after adding the items to private-etc in the profile, there are more detailed error messages:

That is expected behaviour. The --build option creates a volatile profile, meaning that will be gone (not saved to disk) the next time you run without the '--build' parameter. We'll see what we can do to fix the default keepassxc profile. But for now you can use --build=keepassxc.profile, which will save keepassxc.profile to your ${HOME}/.config/firejail directory. Once that is done, you should be able to see your external NTFS data mount points when simply running 'keepassxc' or 'firejail /usr/bin/keepassxc' like before.

@freerunner commented on GitHub (Mar 3, 2020):

Aha. I'm slowly beginning to understand. The --build parameter does not interfere with the normal exectution of the program, instead starts to monitor the behavior. Then a profile is created after the application has been closed. Is this correct?

Okay, created a custom profile. When run with it, firejail reports an invalid whitelisted filename path.
-> whitelist /var/run/samba/gencache_notrans.tdb
After removing that line, keepassxc runs, but all NTFS mountpoints are gone again.

This is the custom profile: https://pastebin.com/LW8KmVcP
This is the output in stderr after closing the app:
