NFS error: create storage failed: error during cfs-locked 'file-storage_cfg' operation: storage is not online (500)

[BobMccapherey]

I am attempting to mount an NFS share and am getting the following error no matter if I use the GUI or this command:

pvesm add nfs offsitebackup --server <myip> --export "/server-backup"
create storage failed: error during cfs-locked 'file-storage_cfg' operation: storage 'offsitebackup' is not online (500)

Mounting the NFS share manually from the Proxmox host works fine

mount -t nfs4 <myip>:/server-backup /tmp/nfsmount

Attempting to list mounts via showmount -e <myip> doesn't work and just hangs. The device is a Thecus NAS running NFS. This Thecus has served VMware clusters in the past so I don't think I have a configuration issue.

What am I missing here? Did a Google search to try to find troubleshooting ideas and double-checked that DNS is working both places, etc.

Have you tried to pass the nfsvers option?
E.g. pvesm add nfs offsitebackup --server <ip> --export "..." --options "nfsvers=4"?

Hi, aroon. I have tried the syntax you provided, but I still get the same error.
