question about adding NFS share

I'm new to ProxMox. I just installed it last night. I was able to successfully add a NFS share to it. I store all my ISO images on my NAS, and share it via NFS. Anyway, I shared it from the root of the ISOs directory on the NAS, called ISOs, but on the NAS itself, it is organized based on type, such as a folder for Linux, a folder for Windows, a folder for FreeBSD, etc. I noticed that when I tried to build a machine and I selected the NFS mount for the ISO image, nothing showed. Is there not a browse function? Will I have to set up a NFS mount for each ISO folder (one for Linux, one for Windows, etc)?

Edit: I noticed that the ISOs directory is mounted on /mnt/pve/NAS. From the pve console, I can browse to that directory and see all the subdirectories and the contents within. Why doesn't that show up when trying to select the ISO during the vm build process?

Hi,
there is a feature request for this on the bug tracker, but I'm afraid nobody is actively working on it at the moment.

Currently, Proxmox VE expects the ISOs to be in /<path to share>/template/iso, so I think you'd need to adapt the directory structure even then.
