add QNAP NAS to Proxmox Server

[vikozo]

Hello
i have a Proxmox Server and a old QNAP NAS 2x 2TB.
to Backup the Proxmox Virtuell Server i wished to add the QNAP to the storage

i followed
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storag...MBa.29_share_on_Proxmox_VE_via_.2Fetc.2Ffstab

and have some questions

nano /etc/fstab

//windows-or-samba-server-name/sharename /mnt/samba1 cifs username=yourusername,password=yoursecretpassword,domain=yourdomainname 0 0

a) cifs is not active on the server i changed it to ext3, is it OK?
b) what is the meaning of domain=yourdomainname?
c) what is the meaning of the two 00 at the end?

Is there a way to find out the exact Name of the path, i have added it on Proxmox but i can't find out the right path?

if i do a mount -a i got a
mount: special device //10.147.42.31/bkp_proxmox does not exist

have a nice day

you can't connect to ext3. cifs is the term used interchangeably for SAMBA share. ext3 is a filesystem, and cifs/smb/samba is a file sharing network protocol. completely different things. you NEED to use cifs to connect to a samba share.

what is the meaning of domain=yourdomainname?

you probably do not need the domain name. if it complains about needing it use domain=WORKGROUP

Hi All,

I have converted Qnap TS 470pro, TS 259/459pro & TS 251 to PVE

I have ordered http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ODYFA2M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 to replace the original 512mb eUSB DOM

I also tested on using SanDisk Ultrafit 16 GB and it works as well.

So back up from PVE to PVE would be much easier and also the PVE on Qnap can run VM/CT without much problem

WHAT?

The QNAP doesn't have iSCSI, CIFS/SAMBA, or NFS?!!

WTF kind of NAS doesn't operate the most basic of NAS functions? How do you access files on it?

 

[vikozo]

@pirateghost
sorry, they (iSCSI, CIFS/SAMBA, or NFS) are inactive because I switched them off
so I will have to greate a user on the NAS and the same user on Proxmox to give the right to communicate?

@elurex
it sound good what you wrote, I belive my old QNAP TS-212 / 2 x 2TB
will not work

You gave permission suitable hosts to a folder on NFS service ?

Hi vikozo,

like ox1de said, you have to configure your NFS share with the right permissions. I do not have a QNAP NAS here but I can give you an example like this looks like in OpenMediaVault (Open Source NAS). See the screenshot. You have to set permissions for the network (or host) address of your LAN. In your case it should be 192.168.14.0/24.

 

[ox1de]

Or for specific hosts (only proxmox hosts) as I will.

Hi!
This sounds similar to the problem I've had.
NFS (at least before v4) does not support permissions based on users. Also your error does not sound like a permission problem. Please check:
a) NFS is enabled on your NAS (Control Panel -> Network Services -> Win/Mac/NFS -> Enable NFS)
b) Allow your PVE Host to access the Folder (Privilege Settings -> Shared Folders -> Permissions of Folder in question -> Permission Type: NFS Host Access -> Add your PVE Host IP -> choose "no_root_squash")
c) go to your PVE Manager and add the Storage

At least for me it works that way.
Good luck.
