Mount NFS to create a Datastore on PBS server

[joseantonio.trujillo]

Hello team,

I deployed Proxmox Backup Server.

I want to configure as datastore a NFS (QNAP Server).

Anything I am doing with mistakes because I have errors:



I mounted my NFS server via mount and added line in /etc/fstab



When I want to create the datastore: not empty



If you create the datastore without the mount fs, the .chunk directory won't create and backup failed for me.



Could you help me about this, please?

Regards, Jose

Hi,
the error states that the folder you are trying to create you PBS datastore in is not empty, so just create a new dedicated folder just for the datastore.

If you create the datastore without the mount fs, the .chunk directory won't create and backup failed for me.

That does not seem like the datastore was successfully create then. Also, make sure to mount the NFS share on a clean mountpoint, not overmounting pre-existing contents.

Hello,

Solved.

I created a new 'shared folder' on qnap server without snapshot configured.
Then, following the recomendation.... I created a new directory on pbs.
I mounted and created datastore from GUI successfully

Thanks for your help
