Description of problem:

Mounting a configmap into a user folder causes the permissions to change to `root`

usual folder permissions:

lombok-project-sample $ ls -la ~/.m2
total 4
drwxrwsr-x. 2 root user 4096 Mar  2 14:51 .
drwxrwxr-x. 1 root root   45 Mar  2 14:52 ..

folder permissions after mounting a file:

lombok-project-sample $ ls -la ~/.m2
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root   26 Mar  2 14:42 .
drwxrwxr-x. 1 root root  110 Mar  2 14:43 ..
-rw-r-----. 1 root user 2778 Mar  2 14:42 settings.xml

configmap set-up:

  labels:
    controller.devfile.io/mount-to-devworkspace: 'true'
    controller.devfile.io/watch-configmap: 'true'
  annotations:
    controller.devfile.io/mount-as: subpath
    controller.devfile.io/mount-path: /home/user/.m2

official documentation for mounting configmaps:
https://github.com/devfile/devworkspace-operator/blob/main/docs/additional-configuration.adoc#automatically-mounting-volumes-configmaps-and-secrets

These permission changes are a major blocker for the usability of the disconnected cluster samples causing the maven commands to fail for example:

...
[DEBUG] Reading global settings from /usr/share/maven/conf/settings.xml
[DEBUG] Reading user settings from /home/user/.m2/settings.xml
[DEBUG] Reading global toolchains from /usr/share/maven/conf/toolchains.xml
[DEBUG] Reading user toolchains from /home/user/.m2/toolchains.xml
[DEBUG] Using local repository at /home/user/.m2/repository
[ERROR] Could not create local repository at /home/user/.m2/repository -> [Help 1]

Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions):

• brew.registry.redhat.io/rh-osbs/iib:444876
• brew.registry.redhat.io/rh-osbs/iib:440880
• CRW 3.5.0GA
• DWO 0.19
• Disconnected cluster
• configmap mounted to a folder that's important for the function of the toolchain in the workspace

Steps to Reproduce

1. mount a configmap into a folder that's important for the function of the toolchain
2. trigger a build with debugging

Actual results:

Build fails because toolchain cannot modify the folder

Expected results:

The folder the configmap file was mounted into keeps the original permissions

Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once):

Always

Build Details:

Dashboard Version
7.60.2
Server Version
3.5 @ fa71a #7 :: Eclipse Che Dashboard 7.60.1 @ 5529
