[SOLVED] No /mnt/pve

[davidht]

I just set up a fresh install of my third proxmox machine. Everything seemed to go smooth. However, I noticed something went wrong when I couldn't connect my NFS shares hosted in a NAS (they mount fine on my other two nodes). Looking around I noticed my /mnt folder is empty. I guess I did something wrong, but I cannot figure it out.

It's installed in a miniPC:
AMD Ryzen 5 3550H
16GB DDR4 RAM
480GB SATA SSD
512GB nvme SSD

All other nodes have a /mnt/pve folder under which all NFS shares get mounted

What could it be?

Hi,
are the nodes part of a cluster? Did you remove the node before reinstalling and join afterwards? How does your /etc/pve/storage.cfg look like on the problematic node and on an other node? Do you see any errors in /var/log/syslog on the problematic node?

After I installed Proxmox I joined my cluster with my other 2 machines. Thats when I realized this 3rd node did not have access to the NFS shares. I checked the permissions in the NAS but no luck.

So my first move was to get the new node off the clustr a try to fix it before rejoining it.

Here are the /etc/pve/storage.cfg:

Node 3 (the new one with the problem)

I have not seen anything weird in /var/log/syslog

I just added the storage from my Proxmox Backup Server (hosted in a VM on my NAS) with no problem.

When I try to add a NFS share in the GUI I geythe following error:
create storage failed: storage 'ISOs_on_NAS' is not online (500)

Ijust realized I cannot ping my NAS. No problem with the other devices in my network, but I cannot reach the NAS from this node. The weird thing is that I had no problem pinging from a previous machine (old notebook) with Proxmox, same IP, same hostname. I'm trying to replace the notebook with this new machine, but somehow it cannot see the NAS.

I finally figured out the problem.

It had nothing to do with Proxmox. The NAS had an unused RJ45 port configured with the same IP as the node. Changed the IP in the unused port (on the NAS) and problem solved.

Now I have to deal with a new issue with ssh keys. But that¡s another ballgame altogether.
