Dear Poxmox Community,

I recently upgraded to Proxmox 6.4 and I can't mount my CIFS storage anymore.

Adding the CIFS storage with the web interface return this error:
Code:
create storage failed: storage 'Backup' is not online

Doing so in the cli gave me the same result
Code:
pvesm add cifs SMBID --server SMBIP --share SMBSHARE --username SMBUSER --password --smbversion 3.0
Enter Password: ********************
create storage failed: storage 'SMBSHARE' is not online

And I tried with smbversion 2.0 and 2.1.
The previous trick with Proxmox 6.3 was to use smbversion2.1. I think...
Anyway, it was working with 6.3.

I have no issue mounting the share with windows.
And I can reach it from the proxmox node with this:
Code:
smbclient -m SMB3_11 -d 10 -W IC -U SMBUSER //SMBIP

go_update_state (0x5605740baa00)] timer[(nil)] finish[../auth/gensec/spnego.c:2070]
 session setup ok
signed SMB2 message
signed SMB2 message
 tconx ok
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \>

Look like it's not working with pvesm.

Right now as a workaround I have the share mounted with fstab.

Does anyone have this working?
thanks

A silly mistake on my part.
There was a typo in the SMBSHARE name, and I messed up the smb.conf with the initial troubleshooting...
So yea it was not working afterwards. lol
