ISOs

[hineshummer27]

mounted a cifs fileshare on my proxmox 2.0 machine and added the directory that contains my iso's but proxmox doesn't see my isos just curious if anyone has any idea why this always seemed to work on previous versions!

pls tell in detail what you did and what you expect.

The mounted storage needs a sub-dir named /template/iso/ - move all iso images to that directory

before i could do mount -t cifs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Tech -o username=johndoe,password=janedoe /mnt/mydirectory then go into storage management and add a directory the /mnt/mydirectory and then i could see and access all my iso files it worked just fine on proxmox 1.8 and 1.9 but not on 2.0 the files are there just unable to be seen in the gui any clues?!

I already told you the solution.

This might be a little more clear for using ISOs with Version 2.
(Thanks goes to Dietmar!)

Thanks for the link I'm trying resolution 2 with the symlink and what i got was another folder inside var/lib/vz/template/iso called linux guessing its the linux directory i have in my /mnt folder? anyways still no iso's show up really don't wanna have to copy over tons of iso's and this always worked on previous versions so why such a big change on 2.0?

I had this same problem. I redid the server, and now it works following dietmar's directions. Now, when I select the CD image, and click add under hardware, it says it does it, but then doesn't list it. Come to find out, it can't contain spaces in the ISO filename!
