Hello,

So long story short I am trying to use a SMB network storage to host VM's from for live migration. I created the share in the /etc/fstab, mounted it successfully, and am able to read and write from the share with no problem. I am even able to create and restore backups without a problem, the thing is when I try to create a VM, or restore a VM to the storage, I get the following error:

When creating a KVM:
Code: 
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]TASK ERROR: create failed - unable to create image: got lock timeout - aborting command[/FONT][/COLOR]

When restoring a KVM:
Code: 
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]restore vma archive: lzop -d -c /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-qemu-106-2013_03_21-15_13_42.vma.lzo|vma extract -v -r /var/tmp/vzdumptmp247935.fifo - /var/tmp/vzdumptmp247935[/FONT][/COLOR]

But it shows the qcow2 file when I check the storage, so the file was created and was expanded to the proper size. I verified the user account the nodes use to mount the storage have full access, and that it applies to all files and folders.

I am using this in a cluster of 2 nodes, and both have the same problem.

yes, restores and creations to local storage work without a hitch.

Also, here is what is in my fstab to mount the drive
Code: 
//10.1.8.1/Storage /mnt/NFS-SMB cifs username=user,password=pass 0 0
 
Nope, still have the same problem.

(just a note, I decided to give up and moved my storage box to a new distro, all working now)

I still have a box with server 2012 with the same problem though when mounted. if you care to continue debugging this we can, but technically its no longer required.
 
Hi,

i have the same problem. I used a NFS share on a Windows SBS2011 add and mount no problem.
When i create a VM i get the error:
TASK ERROR: create failed - unable to create image: got lock timeout - aborting command

I Use Proxmox V 2.3 all updates.

The remote Filesystem is NTFS (SBS2011) -> NFS -> Proxmox. With iSCSI and LVM it works!

Maybe it helps: I test to create a 10 GB cow2 Image. The image was build but it raise the error.

Can anybody help?

Thanks a lot!


Best regards
Christian

This is an old thread, but I've noticed that I have the same problem on my NAS. I can manually mount it and create/delete anything it from a host, but if I try to clone or created a new VM it fails. I'm using 4.4. My NAS is a Buffalo TeraStation 5500.



Code: 
Task viewer: VM 100 - Clone

OutputStatus

Stop
create full clone of drive scsi0 (gluster:100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2)
TASK ERROR: clone failed: unable to create image: got lock timeout - aborting command
