My Directory for ISOs is not longer coming up.

I have Proxmox VE 6 installed, and setup a directory for my ISOs. Everything was working fine, but one day it just stopped loading, and gives an error about it not being mounted, and when I look at the directory is says Active: No.

I'm not sure why it won't go active now.

Here's the output of /etc/pve/storage.cfg

Code:
dir: local
    path /var/lib/vz
    content iso,vztmpl,backup

lvmthin: local-lvm
    thinpool data
    vgname pve
    content images,rootdir

lvm: VM_1
    vgname VM_1
    content rootdir,images
    nodes proxmox
    shared 0

lvm: VM_8_TB
    vgname VM_8_TB
    content rootdir,images
    nodes proxmox
    shared 0

dir: ISO-1TB
    path /mnt/pve/ISO-1TB
    content images,vztmpl,iso,backup,rootdir,snippets
    is_mountpoint 1
    nodes proxmox

The ISO drive is dir: ISO-1TB

Any ideas why it would show not active, and how I can fix this? Thanks in advance of a Proxymos newb who's enthusiastic about the system.
 
So what do logs say when you mount this dir ?

(IMHO) Mounts are OS issues, so before PRoxmox can use them they need to be available on the underlying OS, if that fails then the cause needs to be first sought in the logs from the OS.

It is a dir storage so proxmox won't mount it for you. You need to make sure to mount "/mnt/pve/ISO-1TB" by yourself so Proxmox can use it.
So it sounds like /mnt/pve/ISO-1TB just isn't mounted.

What does your /etc/fstab looks like?
