Hello,

Did a clean install of Proxmox Backup Server.
Then, installed all available updates from no-subscription repo.

Then, added a new disk (running PBS on Proxmox VE).
I initialized the disk.
Added a "Directory" and enabled the option to add it as a datastore and getting this error: "TASK ERROR: datastore path is not empty"

The mound point is actually created but contains a default folder "lost+found" that causes this error.
When i removed the folder, i was able to add de datastore manually.

Is this normal behaviour of PBS?
