ISO folder does not see sub-folders during VM creation

[foxhollow]

I have a large collection of ISO images and multiple proxmox servers.

I have mounted a central share onto the ISO folder so the VM Creation wizard can see the ISO images on the NAS.
The problem is it only sees the root folder of the share.
No sub folders are visible in the drop down box.

Is this a limitation of the VM Creation Wizard or do I have to turn on folder browsing somewhere?

You may have to add the NAS as a separate storage. I think the ISO store just includes its own contents, rather than the contents of all drive mounted inside its path.

Sorry to bring this post up again. I face the same problem. How to resolve this?
kind regards

I believe this is not supported by Proxmox. My work-around is to create symbolic links (using ln -s) in the template/iso directory to all my actual images (which can reside on other file systems as long as they are mounted when the link is used).

Thanks for the reply.
The problem is each ISO is in a unique subdir. If I understand you correctly I’ll need one symbolic link to each ISO file.

kind regards

Yes, a link per ISO but they can reside (almost) anywhere. You could write a script to automate scanning all folders (like a torrents storage), if you are so inclined.
Sorry, I don't know a better way at the moment, except for writing software patches for Proxmox and/or making it a feature request.
