400 Parameter verification failed

[Skullet]

Hi,
I am trying to add a new cifs storage to a subdir inside an existing share. I'd like to use it for backups and maybe ISOs

The share looks like this \\server.domain.local\backup\proxmoxbackup

As the UI has no option for a subdir, I tried the following command:

pvesm add cifs ProxmoxBackup --server server.domain.local --share backup --username backupuser --password secretpassword --domain domain --subdir proxmoxbackup

...but I keep getting the following error:

400 Parameter verification failed.
subdir: invalid format - value does not look like a valid absolute path

Can anybody tell me what's the right syntax for mounting to a subdir ?

Hi,
what value did you use for the parameter? Make sure to use Unix-style forward slash, i.e. / in the path.

--subdir proxmoxbackup

I think the answer is here ^ , its just not well formatted.

@Skullet the error is telling you what the issue is:

subdir: invalid format - value does not look like a valid absolute path

so you need /proxmoxbackup as @fiona mentioned

Good luck
