Dietmar, I was curious about why when running the mount -a command it prompts me for a password? I'm using the pve root account. The password it is asking me for is the root account password, not the password for the shared storage (CIFS). I have the CIFS account set to not use authentication...

Thanks for that. Can you give me any info on installing ipmitool on the proxmox ve server? Looks complicated, is it?

when I run "env - mount -a" , prompts for password and mounts drive. So yes that works. Not sure why fstab wont load it. And not quite sure how to add a script to run on boot to run mount -a. So I'm kind of stuck on it.

fstab entry: //x.x.223.131/backup /mnt/pvebkf cifs 0 0 if I run "mount -a" from command prompt it mounts with no errors. but not mounting from boot using fstab entry. Shared storage server is up and active. 1. any way to fix? If not 2. what file can I add "mount -a" to so it runs on boot...

i have a couple of dell 1950s i've been trying to get fencing to work with using bmc, but couldn't get it to work. What is up with removing lanplus? What happens when that is in the config? I'm wondering if that might have been my issue.

I have 2 separate (non clustered) proxmox ve servers (2.1). Backing up vms on pve server1 (snapshot/lzo) to a cif shared storage, using local directory option in pve gui. The backup works good. I can see the backup in the content tab from server1. When I connect to the shared storage with the...

thank you for this info..

I think this is a memory error but I'm not sure what to do about it. I get it on boot. Error: "ERST can not request iomem region ( ..Hex.. ) for ERST" If I run mem tests, etc, everything seems ok. running pve 2.1 on dell 1950 with 20 gig mem. what you think?

On boot I get this error. if -up.d/mountnfs(vbr0):lock /var/run/network/mountnfs exists, not working ... failed Sometimes the system will continue to boot after 2 secs other times it will just hang indefinitely. I removed all NFS shares from the storage, using cif now. Anyone know how to...

this should be on 2.0 forum. I didn't know how to remove it, sorry. startup error: if -up.d/mountnfs(vbr0):lock /var/r On boot I get this error. if -up.d/mountnfs(vbr0):lock /var/run/network/mountnfs exists, not working ... failed Sometimes the system will continue to boot after 2 secs...

thank you rahman! What a world of difference that made using cif. snapshot in nfs over an hour, now it takes 5 min using cif. NFS is defiantly buggy. Thank you both for you comments and suggestions. I do very much appreciate the help.

Storage server seems to be ok. What logs should I look at? I can use the storage appliance for other activities, move files around etc.. Using readynas 3100. Every time I go through the scenario same behavior.

ok. that is good info. Why does it hang between "total bytes written" in the log output and "archive file size" (see below)? Isn't the job already done at that point, I mean the hard work, compressing and moving...? this is only task I'm running on the server so thre are no competing...
