[SOLVED] S3FS Support?

[AlexanderR]

Hello There

has someone managed to get s3fs as a datastore?

If so, what did you do?

I am receiving the following error:

Error: Unable to acquire lock "/etc/proxmox-backup/.datastore.lck" - Interrupted system call (os error 4)

Thanks in advance

Alex

Nevermind... mounting with correct ownership made it work..

What command did you use to mount it? I am trying to add a s3fs datastore but Proxmox shows the following error message in the GUI when adding the datastore: "EIO: I/O error"
The command I'm using to mount the disk:

s3fs backblaze /mnt/backblaze -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs -o gid=34,uid=34,url=https://s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com

After a couple of retries I understood that PBS will change directory permissions & ownership to backup:backup while adding a datastore. So if you try to use a mountpoint as datastore directory, it will fail. If you use a directory inside a mountpoint, it will work, no need to use uid/gid or allow_other.
These are the steps I followed:

1. as root I created /b2-remote/ mountpoint with default permissions (drwxr-xr-x)
2. as root I mounted the mountpoint with s3fs b2-bucket /b2-remote/ -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs -o url=https://s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com
3. now I created a directory named datastore inside /b2-remote/ mkdir /b2-remote/datastore
4. I passed /b2-remote/datastore as path to "Add datastore", done
