I using a share nfs to host my VM and my backup, The server hosting it is a Truenas server, i check the log of the nfs server, i don't see any problem on the server side.

I see some user in the forum that have the same problem, but there are no real solution for this.

Could someone help me ?

Thanks

Hi,
how does the CPU/IO/network load on the server and NFS look like during the operation? If its too high, you can try setting a bandwidth limit for the clone operation for that storage:
Code:
       pvesm set <storage> [OPTIONS]

       Update storage configuration.

       <storage>: <string>
           The storage identifier.

       --bwlimit [clone=<LIMIT>] [,default=<LIMIT>] [,migration=<LIMIT>] [,move=<LIMIT>] [,restore=<LIMIT>]
           Set I/O bandwidth limit for various operations (in KiB/s).
 
what appen if you try to delete and recreate the nfs storage? Do you have some errors?
Hello ! I try to disconnect/reconnect the nfs share, and the clone was much quickly than before, but get stuck at 100% (take 2m19s) to make.

I didn't see any error on pvestatd, good news. I'm gonna try with terraform.

I let you know

Hello,

The load is OK, i have 10Gb interface connect directly to my nas, the io and cpu is ok, so there are no problem on load. I'm gonna check the bwlimit that are actually set.

Thanks you for answering
