Hello all,

if you have in Proxmox VE an mountpoint, you can define this with an option like this:

--is_mountpoint <string> (default = no)
Assume the given path is an externally managed mountpoint and consider the storage offline if it is not mounted. Using a boolean (yes/no) value serves as a shortcut to using the target path in this field.
Code:
dir:    data2
        path /mnt/data2/pve-storage
        content backup,rootdir,images
        is_mountpoint /mnt/data2

On a PBS, something like this would also be an advantage in special cases. However, I cannot find such an option for the manual mount in the FSTAB.
If, for example, there is a SAN with large storage space and this is connected to the PBS via NFS using the FSTAB, I would see an option here that prevents the backup server from doing its job if the export is not connected or is causing problems.
