Thank you. "noforce" was what I was missing for it to work.

Well I could just get a small factor PC to run as PBS, if network storage is actually supported. But this is just my homelab, and I am just testing out PBS at the moment.

Yep same here. I run PBS as a VM, so I would prefer some network storage. Right now I have just added an extra disk on that storage, but would prefer NFS/CIFS if possible.

Firsty, so pleased about the news about this product. Probably one of the biggest improvement you could make for Proxmox. So I got the PBS setup, but since my current backup data are on my NAS, I would like to add it as CIFS/NFS share. But when I create datastore pointing to /mnt/pvebackup it...

You need to load the drivers. Click browse and find the correct folder

As far as I know, if we want shared storage with snapshot etc. CEPH is the only option and that is just too advanced for my small homelab setup

I tested it some time ago. Decided to drop it since apparently LXC is not supported on that. FreeNAS is not supported anymore, so I went with Nas4Free for testing if I remember correct. I really wish there were some shared storage with the same features as ZFS (Local)

(Not OP) you still cant zfs sync live VMs, right? Atleast I still couldnt get it to work

+1 would love this

What SSDs are you using? Your fsync are really low . So maybe it is a I/O problem

What model Intel was this?

Think you misunderstood me. For a shared NFS I meant a seperate storage system. Else you would have problems when you decide to reboot the host running NFS share.

I would recommend some shared storage. NFS maybe for simplicity. If you dont want that. I think your only option is zfs then

I dont know if this will work in proxmox, it does on vmware. Create a record in the host file on both server, where you point a dns name to the 2 different IPs. Then both of your hosts, should see it as the same storage Like this: host1: iscsi-name 192.168.130.2 host2: iscsi-name...

yeah definately. Where do I do that?

Okay so maybe I should have worded "all types" differently. But should have been pretty obvious what I meant. Obviously I meant with snapshot, which are the feature I am requesting. I am well aware I can use Directory, nfs etc etc. If I just want a storage type that would work with the file format.

So this was a useless reply. What can I use this for? NFS already does the same you just said. Please dont comment if you dont have any meaninful to contribute.

Yeah sadly it does not support LXC. I just dont get why there aren`t a shared storage solution that support all types. Unless you are using something like CEPH, you have to go on a compromise with something

But would that support snapshot then? What I really want is the way ZFS (Local) works as a shared storage. I dont like the idea that I have to run lxc on local storage, when a shared storage should be a viable option EDIT: What was the reason for the decline?

I am on the hunt for a shared storage where I can use both VMs and LXC with snapshot. I really want to use ZFS over ISCSI. But from what I could gather last time I tried, it is not supported for LXC? I know CEPH is an option, but it just seem too complex for my little homelab.
