grey question mark on storages

[de Thysebaert]

Hi,
Question already open in forums but no solutions for me

On a cluster of 5 nodes (pve-manager/8.4.11/14a32011146091ed and Linux 6.8.12-13-pve (2025-07-22T10:00Z)) runing in OVH infra with NAS storages mounted with NFS , I have grey question mark on this storages, hower all is functionning fine for the VMS. Storage is well acceded by the nodes, backup runs fine and so ....

pvesm status display "inactive" status for the mounted NFS partitions on NAS storage but "active" for an another partition mounted on a NFS share on a linux server.

systemctl status pvestatd return some timeout for only one storage

any ideas

Thx

What ever kind of nfs mount version you do (pve will do v4.2 default) you need to have nfs v3 enabled too on nfs server (so default should be v3 ... v4.2 there) to get the exports by showmount for gui and pvestatd.

mount display as example :
IP:/zpool-129262/vmstore11 on /mnt/pve/vmstore11 type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=IP,local_lock=none,addr=IP)
seams to have nfs4

May I change on the storage menu i PVE manager the value of "default" to "4.2 with no interruption for the vmdisk on the share ?

The v4.2 mount is fine. But on the nfs server nfs v3 must not be disabled for possible connections even if you don't use v3 mounts.

I come back with this issue. I force NFS v4.2 on the storages config in PVE manager , reboot the node but always the grey question mark is present on storages.
I also try with a another browser
Nothing to have statistics for the storage size free or used, but access to the store and to the VM disk on this store run fine. In the shell "df -H) on the storages return correct values.
All my nodes are up to date in version 8 (pve-manager/8.4.11/14a32011146091ed)
