NFS shares give me an error 500 in the proxmox gui, blocking vm's that require it for boot to stop working. Sometimes when the Share is function and a boot of a vm is made the system eventually locks up.

What I have tried:

Configuring

cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

nfs: hdd01
server 172.25.4.20
export /mnt/hdd01
path /mnt/pve/hdd01
maxfiles 1
options vers=3
content iso,images,rootdir,backup,vztmpl

and adding nolock

nfs: hdd01
server 172.25.4.20
export /mnt/hdd01
path /mnt/pve/hdd01
maxfiles 1
options vers=3,nolock
content iso,images,rootdir,backup,vztmpl

Going to the /mnt/pve/ section and finding the drives mounted and accessable.


My Setup:

3 Nodes -
2 Poweredge 2950 Gen 3 with 8 cores, 16gb Ram
2 Poweredge 2950 Gen 3 with 8 cores, 12gb Ram
1 FreeNAS-9.3 Supermicro 4U System 1x X8DTE-F


OS on VMS:
Ubuntu 14.10 - No known issues with functionality
Windows Server 2012 r2 - Will break onces I try to use the start menu, nfs shares get 500 error.

Thanks, in Advance.
 
500 is a webpage error. You only have 2 proxmox nodes? you need at least 3 to create a stable quorum. Check to make sure the 2 nodes have the same system time.
 
I have three nodes, I typically run into these issues if I am performing an operation to is utilizing the share, for example If I was running a backup or moving a disk.
