Delay start of VM until mountpoint is ready

[Andre_x]

I've a VM that runs Docker that at startup mounts a NFS share where all the container volumes are stored, so I need to start that VM only when the NFS export (on the host) is ready: how do I do that?

You could code a hook script that will wait until NFS is ready and only then continues starting the VM:
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_hookscripts
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-docs.git;a=blob;f=examples/guest-example-hookscript.pl;hb=HEAD
There is nothing otherwise implemented in PVE except for a start delay of the VM.
