Hi,
after adding a second nfs-storage to the cluster, this storage fails after exactly 30 minutes. Cause the mountpoint /mnt/pve/nfs2 vanished, but still listed in the output of mount. This is reproduceable. The first nfs storage isn't affected at all. The second nfs server got the same hardware, software and configuration as the first one.

Any ideas are welcome.

Cheers Knuuut
 
Hi,

Can you post the output of:
Code:
nfsstat -m
pvesm status
 
Code:
nfsstat -m
/mnt/pve/nfs01 from x.x.x.101:/data/nfs01
 Flags: rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=x.x.x.101,mountvers=3,mountport=20048,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=x.x.x.101

/mnt/pve/nfs02 from x.x.x.102:/data/nfs02
 Flags: rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=x.x.x.102,mountvers=3,mountport=20048,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=x.x.x.102

This is before the vanish

This is reproduceable.
What are the steps to reproduce? I might be able to help if I'm able to reproduce it myself.

Can you also post `pveversion -v`?
 
syslog

Code:
Apr 03 12:30:37 pmve-1901 pvedaemon[2089411]: unable to activate storage 'nfs02' - directory '/mnt/pve/nfs02' does not exist or is unreachable

What are the steps to reproduce?
Just setting up a nfs-storage via gui. No problems at all

After the mountpoint vanished, i do a umount -f /mnt/pve/nfs02 on every node, then the storage comes back. Even if I delete it completely from the storage and set it up from scratch, it always disappears after 30 minutes from all nodes.

I don't think this is a Proxmox related problem. Probably a network issue or a configuration issue on NFS.

but still listed in the output of mount.

We don't unmount so this is normal.

The second nfs server got the same hardware, software and configuration as the first one.

What kind of NFS box are you using? If possible, can you attach the syslog from the NFS? If nothing useful comes out of the syslog, you can try to enable debugging on NFS.

It has to be, because this nfs share is also mounted on another linux box, on which was no trouble at all.

Anyway, after countless mount, umount, create, delete, restarts of nfs service with no(!) change of configurations, this problem disappered and I don't know why. But if it stays like now, I'll be happy.

Thanx
