I've added NFS storage to pve but in server view its shown with question mark and status unknown. When I click on it, it shows me everything correctly: vm disks/ct volume/iso images. So it shouldn't show status unknown, but it shows, why?
 
I've noticed that it changes randomly, when I add the same nfs share few times and restart pve, after restart I have some disabled shares which I can read and write.
 
That's odd. Which version of PVE are you running?
can you give a little more information about your setup?
 
Pve is the newest 6.3-3. I've tested on 2 nodes and it's the same situation, I think that's the problem with Freenas. Other nfs shares work good.
 
Could you please copy & paste the output of the following commands?
Code: 
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
pvesm status
mount | grep nfs

Storage with exclamation: wb-storage-nfs
IP of wb-storage-nfs is 172.16.1.88 so freenas=wb-storage-nfs , only 1 with exclamation, both can read and write.

Lastline is deleted share, Proxmox didn't unmount it.

First of all, you can just unmount the deleted share /mnt/pve/wb-storage manually.

What happens if you change the server property of wb-storage-nfs from wb-storage to the respective IP address?

I know, nfs mounted shares are in /mnt/pve.

Storage changes status to active. That ip is in /etc/hosts so it should work.
 
I'm testing on another node, I've added 3 times the same share with dns local domain name not ip and it works.
When I add fourth share with dns name but without local domain, it shows status unknown. When I add domain, it works again.
I don't understand it at all.
 
Hello!

Same here. Added NFS share and the status is unknown.

cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

How should i make it to be active? This is a fresh install. I even tried with local domain name, but that is not good either. Before the install it just worked. I can read and write the share.

Thanks any help!
