Hello, I've just setup a new PVE with PBS standalone.
I'm going through some DR tests before switching everything to production.
Current setup below.
Hardware:
- 2 PVE hosts
- 1 PBS host
- 1 QNAP with NFS share
Configuration:
- 2 PVE hosts clustered together
- QNAP NFS share is limited as source from PBS, read+write, no_root_squash
- PBS mounts NSF share from QNAP as Datastore
- PVE Datacenter mounts PBS Datastore
What's wrong:
I successfully imported PBS datastore over the two PVEs. Configured daily backup of one VM, works flawlessly.
I am simulating an hardware failure on PBS: I have created a new PBS and when I try to add the existing datastore from the QNAP (after configuring the correct mountpoint in /etc/fstab) I get the following error:
I've gone through ACL removal, ownership re-apply...tested a lot of suggested solutions I found here and there but none of them work.
Also removing and re-adding the same datastore to the initial PBS gives the same error.
How can I re-add an existing datastore if my PBS/PVE get corrupted and need bare-metal reinstallation?
Thanks for helping.
