Proxmox NFS

[dsexton18]

I am having no luck adding an NFS share from my snology nas. I am able to mount the nfs share from the command line on both 2 nodes my cluster, but not from the web console. Any suggestions?

I see this in the logs.
ug 31 18:13:29 pve1 pvestatd[1009]: storage 'nfs_1' is not online

You need to provide more information for anyone to be able to assist:
- context of /etc/pve/storage.cfg
- output of : pvesm status
- output of : showmount -e synology_ip
- output of: showmount -a synology_ip
- output of: rpcinfo synology_ip
- command line used to mount manually and resulting output of "mount"
- exact options and steps used in GUI, or corresponding "pvesm" attempt to add the share
- output of "journalctl -f" during addition of the share via PVE interface

this is just to start.

I ran journalctl from one of the nodes.

I believe my issue is resolved. I had to check the Allow users to access mounted subfolders box on my synology nas. After that I disabled and enabled NFS and it worked. It seems slow after i click on the NFS share and click VM disk it takes 12 seconds or show to list any VM disks. Is that Normal? Sam for the Summary and other tabs under the NFS share. I am however limited to a 1G connection. Not planning to store vm disk on the NFS share except for slow storage needs.
