PBS Server hangs for 90 seconds at startup on missing disk.

[Robstarusa]

Hello, and thank you for a great product!

Recently I switched from local storage to CIFS mount & used a "sync job" to sync from local disk (datastore "001") to cifs (datastore "002"). Everything worked great. All files verified on the CIFS mount. I then ran "proxmox-backup-manager datastore remove 001" which removed the datastore. I then shut down the machine & removed the disk. However I booted the machine again and it hangs trying to mount the now-missing disk. I checked /etc/fstab and I don't see it mounted there.

Any advice on how to stop the server from trying to mount this now missing disk at boot?

Thanks in advance!

did you checked if oldstorage.mount file still in /etc/systemd/system/?

I found this:

mnt-datastore-001.mount

Just rm it & I'm done?

Yep, you can remove it and try to reboot the PBS again!

That worked, thanks! I'm not super knowledgeable in the "new" systemd....so appreciate it.

Is there any way to remove a datastore & unmount a disk from the gui?

IIRC I removed the datastore from the CLI with the proxmox-backup-manager utility but had to stop a proxmox service first before unmounting it manually. It's quite possible I missed something as I'm new to PBS. Outside of these minor niggles the product is WAY better than I thought it would be at first glance. This is going to save me quite a bit of money on offsite-backups due to de-dupe.
