Datacenter -> Storage Config Question

Hey All,

I'm a little confused. Under Datacenter -> Storage, you can add shared storage, etc. In my case I add NFS mounts to our clusters without a problem. However, when you remove the storage from the datacenter -> storage GUI area, it stops showing it in the GUI as assigned to each node, but it literally does nothing under the hood to remove the storage from each node.

The service is still running, the path is still mounted on all nodes in the cluster, etc. If it configures and mounts the storage when you add it via the GUI, why wouldn't it remove it from the nodes when you remove it in the GUI?

What are the the proper steps to remove this mount point from each node and stop/delete the systemctl file that handles that specific mount?

This is on a 7.4 cluster, I have not tested it on an 8.4 cluster yet.

Thanks in advance for any help!
 
Hi,
for NFS type storage, you just need to run umount /mnt/pve/your-storage-name (or with --lazy to umount lazily if the server is already down/gone). There should be no systemd unit then.
