I have a question mark on my storage in the Promox gui. The storage is available and accessible but the question won't disappear. How can I solve this without rebooting?
 
the storage gets a question mark if the pvestatd daemon is not able to collect stats for > 2 minutes. so either check if pvestat is not hanging crashing on the relevant node, or if stats collection works for it (e.g. look in the journal/syslog if there is any issue with the storage)

Thanks for the reply!

I've restarted pvestatd on my 3 node cluster but it didn't solve the issue. It was complaining that the storage wasn't online but it is. I can access the shares via an LXC container. After the restart pvestatd status is okay. I've checked the log but can't find anything strange..

Update: Also when I check with df -h on the node I see that the shares are mounted.

ok what kind of storage is it? can you post the config? also can you maybe post an excerpt of the journal when the issue occurs?

For storage I use a Unifi UNAS Pro. The share is accessed over NFS. I found something in the syslog. This is before I restarted pvestatd. After that I didn't receive these messages anymore. Hope it helps a bit?
