Proxmox keeps giving me the following when I try to connect to a CIFS share running off of a virtualized FreeNAS box:

Code:
create storage failed: error with cfs lock 'file-storage_cfg': storage 'Proxmox' is not online (500)

This share works fine on multiple computers, and running

Code:
smbclient -m smb3 -d 0 -L [IP] -N

returns this:

Code:
Anonymous login successful

        AD                   VIRT-NFS0

Furthermore, in the web UI when I set up the share, Proxmox successfully scans and lists the shares.

Any ideas?
 
Which Proxmox VE version do you use: pveversion -v
For some reason my other computers are having intermittent issues connecting to the server,
I'm going to re-image the FreeNAS VM and restore from back up.

Looks like the issue is still occurring, despite the fact that I can hit the smb share from my Win 10 machine.

Edit: And it just magically worked. I'll go sacrifice a lamb to make sure it keeps at it.

I am having this exact same issue...same symptoms, but I haven't been lucky enough to have it just start working again....It was working just fine for a couple of months but stopped working last Friday night

I was able to resolve this my deleting the storage and recreating it, only this time, I didn't use myuser@mydomain and a blank domain, I specified just "myuser" and then mydomain in the domain box...not sure why it initially worked and then stopped working, but I don't care, now that it is working
