I`m often using Proxmox in my classic setup, 2 nodes with 1 VM, 1/24h backup to NAS via NFS or CIFS. NASes are added for all nodes via storage menu in Datacenter.
And there is a problem. Sometimes node lost connection with NAS and VM is going to be locked and unavailable.
I have to restart node or I can try to reconnect to NFS or CIFS share.
Can I defend VM against these connection breakdown? Why are nodes so sensitive for this mounted disks? Is there better and more reliable solution for me?
I didn`t remeber such problems in older version of Proxmox (v5,6 maybe 7), but I had the several issues in various v8 clusters for sure.

This night I had a problem with space in NAS during backup and VM is frozen but sometimes node has no reason to lost connection with NAS. Only 1 node lost connection with NAS in this case.
