Last night I had a failing nfs server while this proxmox was backing up to it. The server is still operational with all vm's running. I killed the vzdump processes but the webinterface shows nothing but greyed out questionmarks.
Of course this has something to do with the failed nfs mount. I want to change the backup target to another one but can't right now because of this problem.
I managed to add the new nfs mount but can't change the backup settings.

A quick search on the web showed it probably has something to do with pvestatd so i restarted that.
Next, the webinterface is unresponsive (spinning wheel) so i restarted pve-proxy, no change.

What else to try ?
 
Thanks spirit, but that didn't work (after login spinning wheel, then network error). Or did you mean remove ALL nfs storage from storage.cfg ?

I mean only the storage which is hanging.

you can also try to restart different proxmox services in this order:

systemctl restart pve-cluster
systemctl restart pveproxy
systemctl restart pvedaemon
systemctl restart pvestatd
 
Will do, but a question in general, how safe is restarting those ? I need to be sure no vm's will go down doing this.
I'm waiting for new hardware for the backup server and i don't want to end up with a failing server and no recent backups available.
