Versions: Proxmox V 7.4-3 OpenMediaVault 6.3.0-2
Type of Storage: NFS
Output of pvesm:

When creating a new VM from an iso, I get this error message:
Formatting '/mnt/pve/vm01/images/106/vm-106-disk-0.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 cluster_size=65536 extended_l2=off preallocation=metadata compression_type=zlib size=214748364800 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16 TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 106 - unable to create image: 'storage-vm01'-locked command timed out - aborting

What I've tried:
- Shut down all VM's
- Reboot Storage
- Reboot promox host

How can I find a clear this lock?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I'd suggest using pvesm set vm01 --preallocation off. Then image creation will not allocate the metadata and should be fast enough to finish before hitting the timeout.
