NFS storage creating failed

[markfree]

I tried to add a ZFS storage to my Proxmox, but it failed with the following error message.

create storage failed: mkdir /mnt/pve/true_bkp/images: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm line 1543. (500)

After attempting this, I noticed that the NFS volume was mounted on my Proxmox node.

root@node:~# df -h /mnt/pve/true_bkp/
Filesystem                                Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
192.168.8.10:/mnt/main/backup/proxmoxbkp  4.9T     0  4.9T   0% /mnt/pve/true_bkp

My TrueNAS NFS share uses the group_proxmox group which has write permission.


I added the new group to the node and added the root user to it.

root@node:~# groups root
root : root group_proxmox

With this change, I can read and write to the NFS volume while in the terminal, but I still can't add the storage volume in Proxmox's Portal.

root@node:~# touch /mnt/pve/true_bkp/test

root@node:~# ls -lah /mnt/pve/true_bkp/
drwxrwx--- 2 root   group_proxmox    3 Jun 21 20:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root          4.0K Jun 21 19:48 ..
-rw-rwxr-- 1 nobody group_proxmox    0 Jun 21 20:47 test

Now, I'm not sure why Proxmox is not creating the volume.
Any thoughts on this matter?

[SOLVED] Thread 'Can't Use NFS Share'

Apr 16, 2019

So, after getting this error "mkdir /mnt/nfs-backup01/images: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm line 954. (500)" when trying to add my NFS share on FreeNAS for backups, I manually added the server via "pvesm add nfs backup01 --server=10.x.x.x --export=/mnt/pool01 --path=/mnt/nfs-backup01". Once I had that added, and it did at least add without errors, I get the same "mkdir /mnt/nfs-backup01/images: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm line 954. (500)" When I navigate to that storage device under one of the nodes in the Web UI. Any ideas out...

Take a look, it looks promising.

Good luck
