I discovered a different issue with this definition: If I go to Datacenter -> node -> storage aurel -> content I only get "mount error: mount.nfs: /mnt/pve/aurel is busy or already mounted (500)". The share is mounted again with IP address though I didn't change the config after above. # cat /proc/mounts […] <IP address>:/backup/proxmox-infra /mnt/pve/aurel nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=<IP address>,mountvers=3,mountport=892,mountproto=tcp,local_lock=none,addr=<IP address> 0 0 root@px-alpha-cluster:~# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on […] <IP address>:/backup/proxmox-infra 4294967296 63842304 4231124992 2% /mnt/pve/aurel Also Datacenter -> node -> storage aurel -> summary says: enabled: yes active: no content: vzdump backup file type: NFS usage: n/a But to mention it again: backups do work now. _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
