[SOLVED] Proxmox + Hetzner Storage Box

[Kaan Karaca]

Hi,

I bought the BX11 Storage Box offering from Hetzner and also do have a dedicated server with Proxmox (v8.0.3) installed on it.
Network etc. works, but I stuck in adding the BX11 to my Proxmox setup.

Current status:
- A directory on BX11 at "/home/backups/myproxmox" has been created
- BX11 is configured with a sub user and "/home/backups/myproxmox" is selected as base dir

I can login via ssh

ssh ssh://u12345-sub1@u12345.your-storagebox.de:23
u12345-sub1@u12345.your-storagebox.de's password:

Trying to add it to my Proxmox setup fails on the GUI as well as when I try to do in on the console:
I used following data:

ID: mystorgebox
Server: u12345.your-storagebox.de
Username: u12345-sub1
Password: <PW>
Share: backup
Nodes: my single node I use
Enable: yes
Content: Disk Image (additional will be added after successfull config)
Domain: empty
Subdirectory: /home/backups/myproxmox

On the Gui I get following message:

create storage failed: mount error: Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg) (500)

on the console I get this one:

mount.cifs -o user=u12345-sub1,pass=<PW> //u12345.your-storagebox.de/backup /home
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

Kernerlog isn't really helpful either

CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -2

Trying out various combinations didn' helped either.

Am I missing something? Any help is much appreaciated.

Can I see the jountalctl -b ?

 

[Kaan Karaca]

Sure. This is what gets written, when I press the "Add" button

Jul 31 12:40:26 pve1 kernel: CIFS: Attempting to mount \\u12345.your-storagebox.de\backup
Jul 31 12:40:27 pve1 kernel: CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -2

Try repacing the share with Share: u12345-sub1 in your configuration

Also are you sure you want to mount the backup over /home ? The /home folder contains the configuration of all users with the exception of root. Maybe you want to configure an other mount point like /home/backup/mnt ?

Changing the share result in the same error msg.
As I'm trying to use a sub-account and have set the home for u12345-sub1 to /home/backups/myproxmox.

Update:
Using the user name as share and leaving the subdirectory empty solved it!

Thank you!!
