Hello.
How to correctly mount CIFS on proxmox with hetzner?
I'm mounting it directly in the CIFS storage of proxmox..but with some errors when proxmox use the storage.

I need to mount it manualy in the system?..then add to proxmox as foder?

Code:
Linux

In Linux-based systems, you can use the following command on the CLI to mount the file system:

mount.cifs -o user=<username>,pass=<password> //<username>.your-storagebox.de/backup /PATH/FOLDER

By adding the following line to /etc/fstab, your system will automatically mount the file system at boot. (It is a single line!):

//<username>.your-storagebox.de/backup /mnt/backup-server cifs iocharset=utf8,rw,credentials=/etc/backup-credentials.txt,uid=<system account>,gid=<system group>,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0

The file /etc/backup-credentials.txt (mode 0600) should contain two lines as follows:

username=<username>
password=<password>

In Debian-based distributions, the command is provided via the package cifs-utils.

apt-get install cifs-utils

On Debian Wheezy based systems, edit the parameters as follows if you are having problems:

rsize=65536,wsize=130048

You should also add the following lines to /etc/rc.local:

modprobe cifs
echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled
