create storage failed: mkdir /mnt/pve/ISOVAULT2/images: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm line 1518. (500)

can't add the nfs share. the error is so crypitic as to be pointless. if it needs root, that's a massive security hole, and ill be looking for a different hypervisor at that point. im not using CIFS because of the polling rate causing problems.

i've literally given the user full access idk wtf else to do.

Have you setup the NFS storage in the backend as shown here?

What is the output of cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

Hi Comisssar 0617, I know how frustrating this can be but I would ask you to not jumpt to conclusions about Proxmox. I would like to help you resolve this but for this I need to know the following things:

- I'm assuming you are trying to add the network share as the root user, correct?
- Did you grant the correct permissions on the network share for it to be added as a storage medium?

so, as it turns out, I did not have the *dataset* permissions set correctly in truenas. I had assumed that the permissions would ahve been fine since i just moved from CIFS to NFS, but i guess that wan't a safe assumption.
it's working now.

Just to be clear, i've used proxmox for a few years now, and i've been pretty happy aside from these issues

its working now but how did you do it is the question if you can please tell us what exactly you did?
 
NFS is always a little complicated to set up correctly. That's been true since way back in the Sun days. Your NFS server hopefully logs some usable error message. The client often doesn't have much of this information and merely tells you that the NFS server denied access.
