CIFS share disconnects after a few hours/day.

[Jackster]

Hi all

I have a CIFS share that I added from the UI. It works fine for a while but after a few hours, even a day, it disconnects.
Have to remove and add it back to get it working again.

Using a Hertzner Storage Box.

Any ideas why it is disconnecting?
Thanks

hi,

It works fine for a while but after a few hours, even a day, it disconnects.

do you see anything in the logs? journalctl, syslog, etc?

Have to remove and add it back to get it working again.

how do you do this? through the GUI?

Any ideas why it is disconnecting?

connection problems? hard to tell without any more information.

you can post your:
* pveversion -v
* cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
* journalctl | grep STORAGENAME -C 3

Yes, all via GUI.

Here are the last few lines from "journalctl | grep STORAGENAME -C 3", it is long and dates back to December..

Thing is, the login info is correct.

dir: backup path /backup/prox content iso,backup maxfiles 2 shared 0

is /backup your cifs mount? where is this added? in your /etc/fstab?

i would rather add the cifs in storage.cfg as well:

cifs: backup
path /mnt/pve/backup
server ip.of.your.server
share nameofshare
content vztmpl,rootdir,images,iso,backup,snippets
maxfiles 1
username usernameforshare

you can also add it using the GUI: Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> CIFS -> Fill the blanks

proxmox-ve: 6.2-2 (running kernel: 5.4.60-1-pve) pve-manager: 6.2-11 (running version: 6.2-11/22fb4983)

also 6.2 has reached EOL, i suggest upgrading to 6.3 for latest bugfixes and features.

Not sure why it is trying to do it on /backup
The UI had a backup location in the default spot, I just removed it and now it won't let me make it again.

create storage failed: error during cfs-locked 'file-storage_cfg' operation: unable to activate storage 'backup' - directory '/mnt/pve/backup' does not exist or is unreachable (500)

There is nothing in fstab
Working on upgrading now, but wanted to backup VMs prior.

if you added it manually in the storage.cfg you should create the directory mkdir /mnt/pve/backup

Not sure why it is trying to do it on /backup

could you show: find /backup

Restarted and

Nothing came up.

Updated to 6.3 and restarted. Was able to add a CIFS again. Removed it and tried to add another and get.
