After a fully working proxmox server on a old pc I created a new proxmox server on better hardware.
Most of the node is working, but I have two questions remaining.
First Question:
I mounted an existing (shucked USB Western Digital drive with NTFS format) with:
After which I am able to see all files on the disk.
However, after a reboot I need to remount the drive. But as I've read I can also use fstab in order to make the mount more permanent.
A previous fstab I used, but seems to not be working fine right now is:
However, that was with the disk being used as USB, and I don't know what steps I previously performed.
Are the above mentioned settings alright? Should I add the drive on which the Proxmox OS is installed as well?
These are my connected drives:

Proxmox is installed on sda (SSD).
The NTSF drive is mounted on sdb
The nvme0n1 is currently empty (next step is to make RAID1 using this and NTSF drive).
Second Question:
I installed OpenMediaVault.
Added the drive with
Added the drive to shared folders with read/write permissions.
Enabled the the SMB/CIFS service by enabling it and selected the shared folder.
This way I am able to see the files on the disk, but one peculiar this is happening:
New files (either created by a computer using Windows Explorer on a added drive, or created on the disk with proxmox utilities) are not shown by the counterpart. As if the connection with computers is not updated.
What could be the cause of this?
