Missing VM file

[sbazin]

Hello,
My virtual machines are stored on an NFS share and accessible for each hypervisor. One of my VM folders disappeared completely with the .qcow2 disks it contained. Can Proxmox be the cause? Unfortunately, I have no trace in the logs.
Thanks in advance.

and accessible for each hypervisor.

Do you use the same share on multiple separate PVE instances?

If you use the same share in a cluster everything should be okay. If you have separate PVE instances, not clustered, you should never share the exact same network storage. Use different shares in that case.

Each PVE instance (if not part of a cluster) assumes it is the only instance accessing that storage and thus it can come to situations where they interfere with one another.

Hello. The same share is use on my preproduction cluster and my production cluster. Is it a problem ? Thanks

This is very much a problem! Use different shares so that each cluster has its own and cannot interfere with the other cluster.
