Hello,

I have a CIFS share which worked great until tonight's upgrade and reboot.

When using 'mount.cifs' the share works as expected. Example:
Code:
root@pmx3-lim:~# mount.cifs -o user=USERNAME,pass=PASSWORD //1.2.3.4 /mnt/pve/stbox
root@pmx3-lim:/mnt/pve/stbox# ls
dump  template

So the share works properly.

Now, when using 'cifsscan' I get:
Code:
root@pmx1-lim:/mnt/pve/stbox# pvesm cifsscan 1.2.3.4 --username USERNAME --password
Enter Password: ****************
root@pmx1-lim:/mnt/pve/stbox# echo $?
0
root@pmx1-lim:/mnt/pve/stbox# /usr/bin/smbclient //1.2.3.4 -d 0 -m smb3 -U USERNAME -c 'echo 1 0'
Enter USERNAME's password:
Domain=[PUBLICBACKUP158] OS=[] Server=[]

On 'pvesm add cifs' I get:
Code:
create storage failed: error with cfs lock 'file-storage_cfg': storage 'test' is not online

Same goes with the WebUI.

Any hints on how to solve this?

Thanks!

Hi,
You server does not answer to this call.
Code:
smbclient -m  smb3 -d 0 -L <serverip> -N

Thanks for your reply.

It does answer properly:

Code:
root@pmx1-lim:~# smbclient -m  smb3 -d 0 -L MY_CIFS_IP -U MY_USERNAME
Enter USERNAME's password:
Domain=[PUBLICBACKUP158] OS=[] Server=[]

       Sharename       Type      Comment
       ---------       ----      -------
       IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Hetzner Samba Server)
Domain=[PUBLICBACKUP158] OS=[] Server=[]

       Server               Comment
       ---------            -------

       Workgroup            Master
       ---------            -------

Note that the IP I'm posting is just a dummy IP.

Any other ideas/solutions?

Thank you!

You have to mount it manually and use it as dir storage.
 
Can you please let me know why did it initially worked, and it doesn't work right now?
I can only tell you here it is working without a problem.
I guess the configuration on the server side has changed because of the command
"smbclient" has nothing to do with Proxmox.
