    Backup to samba when the mount fails

    But mounting the remote backup folder via fstab has one danger. If the remote system goes down, the remote folder won't be automounted again after the remote machine comes up again. So the backup will be dropped to the local folder which is used as the mount point. If this folder is on the...

    Bind mount, samba and containers: any risks involved?

    Hi! TL;DR; Are there any risks involved in using bind mounted folders in containers and sharing these same folders through samba? Long Version: After using a bare metal Ubuntu for more than 6 years, I decided to use Proxmox and containers and I'm loving it. But, I realized recently that Plex...

    [SOLVED] Error connecting Samba Share

    Hello, We updated VE 5.1 to 5.2 because we wanted to use Samba storage. We use a Proxmox / Ceph cluster. The upgrade went as expected. But configuring the store is a bit problematic. We tried to add it within the GUI and we got this error: create storage failed: error with cfs lock...

    autofs im Cluster für z.B. smb shares

    Moin, nachdem ich im Cluster mit 3 Nodes es geschafft habe die /etc/fstab jeweils falsch zu machen, bin ich nun auf autofs umgestiegen und lasse die Konfiguration über cronos synchronisieren. Das funktioniert soweit auch, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass es nicht zum "Best Practice" reicht. In der...

    [SOLVED] Presenting a CIFS share to a Container

    I have mounted a CIFs share in my proxmox host that presents files as owned by foo:users. Foo's id is 1002. I want to present this share to a unprivileged container, I'm assuming using a bind mount. The user in the container has id 1000:1000, and creates files like so. I have added the...

    use snapshot to create 2nd Domain Controller

    We are trying to make a 2nd Domain Controller on a different server and I was going to try to take a snapshot of our existing Samba Domain Controller and copy that snapshot to new location, change the IP settings, name, etc... and start it up. Has anyone ever tried this before?

    Taking suggestions: Samba Previous versions implementation

    Is it possible (or conversely a terrible idea) to expose zfs snapshots to a container? My goal is to enable 'previous versions' via samba's shadow_copy2 vfs object, preferably backed by zfs snapshots, for document storage that can be recovered without IT (me) intervention. The documents in...

    LXC Container Mount CIFS - Sporadically Hangs

    I've pieced together a few instructions from here and there to allow my Prox Containers to mount CIFS shares but I have the sporadic problem where accessing the shares hangs with no response for a few minutes. It clears...eventually. In my case, multiple containers attempt to access the same...

    [SOLVED] Bind mount to reflect Samba mount owner/permissions?

    I have a few containers running on Proxmox and have a challenge with a Bind mount vs a Samba share. Container 101 has a directory shared via Samba (it's effectively my NAS). Anything written to it via Samba adopts file ownership & permissions determined by the samba process / config. That same...
