[SOLVED] PBS datastore in /var/lib/vz?

Hi,

I have this machine already running proxmox 6.3 ( :8006) on which I have installed PBS ( :8007). I cannot add any dedicated disk to the machine, and the only room that is available to me is in /var/lib/vz (ext4, not zfs).

I have declared the Datastore in the :8007 end of the server, and that went ok.

When trying to declare the storage in the :8006 (on localhost, using root@pam), I get the following error:
Code:
create storage failed: error during cfs-locked 'file-storage_cfg' operation: store1: error fetching datastores - 500 500 Status read failed: Connection reset by peer (500)

Is it allowed to access a /var/lib/vz/subfolder between pve and pbs running on the same machine? This not being zfs, I cannot create a separate zfs dataset.

Thanks,
Fred

Hi,

this is a know bug and fixed in packages only available on pvetest (at time of writing).

As a workaround, can you try using "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" for the server?
