I have a PVE 2.1 running & I'm trying to add NFS shares to it.

There is a 10TB Drobo connected to a laptop running Oracle Virtualbox with the USB passed through to an Ubuntu 12.04 VM. The volumes on the Drobo are mounted and configured to be exported in /etc/exports.

I've tried nfs-kernel-server, unfs3, & nfs-user-server, which is what's installed right now, and none of them allow me to view all the exports in the drop-down menu where you add the share based on what pve scans as available- it seems a random 3 show up there depending on what nfs server I run. There are 7 shares in total I need to add to pve. I was able to add them manually, but they all error the same, whether they were added via the drop-down menu scan, or by the mountpoint being entered manually.

Now I get an error saying: "mount error: No such file or directory (500)" when I try to browse the content of each share.

Please advise.
Thanks.
 
I ended up plugging the Drobo directly into the pve box & am restoring from there for now. I still would like to know why nfs didn't work for me though.
