Hello! I'm new to Proxmox and I think I broke it again.
I'm just working with a single node right now, and I had two unprivileged LXC containers. One hosted a Samba share which I mounted at the datacenter level, and the other was running Plex that I passed the share mounted on the datacenter into. I decided to reboot the node yesterday, I don't even remember why now, and upon restarting the nodes are not appearing in the web GUI and I can't seem to SSH to the Proxmox host.
I noticed that when mounting the SMB share on the datacenter it required me to choose a content type and I am unable to leave it blank. So does that mean I shouldn't actually use it for general storage like this? I ended up going into the storage.cfg file and setting the content type to "none" so that it wouldn't automatically create folders in my samba share, and I feel like that might have caused my issues. How should I go about passing one container's samba shares to another if that isn't the right way to do it?
UPDATE:
I was right, manually changing the storage.cfg content for that entry to none broke everything. I changed it to images and after restarting again, all the nodes came back. So can someone clarify for me, is it possible to mount a smb share as storage at the datacenter/node level and not have it auto-create directories based on the content setting?
