[SOLVED] Storage error/warning when setting values on a container

I have a container which shows the follow error when I try to set values via the terminal:

Code:
root@my-host-name:~# pct set 132 -protection 0
storage does not support content type 'none'

I have tested with other values (such as "-unprivileged") and I receive the same error. Note that the set function actually does succeed, it's just a bit unnerving and I'd like to find out why if possible.

I found this message in the PVE codebase here: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-stor...3a5027a83b569b9259a;hb=refs/heads/master#l262

Code:
sub decode_value {
 my ($class, $type, $key, $value) = @_;

 my $def = $defaultData->{plugindata}->{$type};

 if ($key eq 'content') {
     my $valid_content = $def->{content}->[0];

     my $res = {};

     foreach my $c (PVE::Tools::split_list($value)) {
         if (!$valid_content->{$c}) {
             warn "storage does not support content type '$c'\n";
             next;
         }
         $res->{$c} = 1;
     }

     if ($res->{none} && scalar (keys %$res) > 1) {
         die "unable to combine 'none' with other content types\n";
     }

     return $res;
 } elsif ($key eq 'format') {
     my $valid_formats = $def->{format}->[0];

     if (!$valid_formats->{$value}) {
         warn "storage does not support format '$value'\n";
         next;
     }

     return $value;
 } elsif ($key eq 'nodes') {
     my $res = {};

     foreach my $node (PVE::Tools::split_list($value)) {
         if (PVE::JSONSchema::pve_verify_node_name($node)) {
             $res->{$node} = 1;
         }
     }

     # fixme:
     # no node restrictions for local storage
     #if ($storeid && $storeid eq 'local' && scalar(keys(%$res))) {
     #    die "storage '$storeid' does not allow node restrictions\n";
     #}

     return $res;
 }

... however I'm a bit stumped at this point, and my knowledge of how Proxmox works is very minimal, so I'm having a hard time tracking down what is going on.

Here is the .conf file for the container I'm looking at:


Code:
root@my-host-name:~# cat /etc/pve/nodes/my-host-name/lxc/132.conf
arch: amd64
cores: 8
hostname: test-host-name
memory: 1024
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr1,firewall=1,hwaddr=<SOME MAC ADDRESS>,ip=dhcp,type=veth
ostype: debian
protection: 0
rootfs: local-zfs:subvol-132-disk-0,size=16G
swap: 1024
unprivileged: 1

Any ideas what is triggering this message?
 
Oh, I should also note that this container has been cloned from a template. However it's an unlinked clone, so it's not sharing any storage or anything with the parent node it was cloned from.
 
Code:
dir: local
        path /var/lib/vz
        content iso,backup,vztmpl

zfspool: local-zfs
        pool rpool/data
        content rootdir,images
        nodes proxmox-a,proxmox-b
        sparse 1

zfspool: tank
        pool tank
        content rootdir,images
        nodes proxmox-a

zfspool: tank-proxmox-isos
        pool tank/proxmox/isos
        content none
        nodes proxmox-a

cifs: proxmox_backups
        path /mnt/pve/proxmox_backups
        server backups.local
        share proxmox_backups
        content backup
        maxfiles 14
        username proxmox

dir: local-dir
        path /local-dir
        content images,rootdir
        nodes proxmox-c
        shared 0

Hmmm, does it have something to do with the content none in the zfspool: tank-proxmox-isos?
 
Please post your '/etc/pve/storage.cfg'

Aha! It was the "tank-proxmox-isos" storage I had set up. It was configured with none content type.

Thanks so much for pointing me to that storage file! I was actually not using that storage, so I simply removed it and the messages are gone now.

Thanks! :D
