Hi!
I have PVE 6.2-11.
I created new CIFS storage from FreeNAS.

Now I see it from shell on PVE host:
#df -h //st-nas1/VMBackup2 5.2T 5.0T 214G 96% /mnt/pve/VMBackup #mount //st-nas1/VMBackup2 on /mnt/pve/VMBackup type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=3.0,cache=strict,username=root,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=10.1.30.15,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=4194304,wsize=4194304,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1)
And I can see its contents
# ls -l /mnt/pve/VMBackup total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 24 00:15 dump

But on GUI I see "Status: unknown" and "storage 'VMBackup' is not online (500)"

Can you please post the output of the following commands
Code:
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
pvesm status
showmount -d 10.1.30.15

each into one [code] [/code] section?
 
# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg dir: local path /var/lib/vz content vztmpl,backup,iso lvmthin: local-lvm thinpool data vgname pve content rootdir,images dir: VMs path /pool1/VMs content images,iso shared 0 dir: Backup path /pool1/Backup content backup maxfiles 3 shared 0 cifs: VMBackup path /mnt/pve/VMBackup server st-nas1-30 share VMBackup2 content backup maxfiles 1 nodes vmc1-3 username root

Could you try to unmount everything, remove the storage from PVE and add it again using the GUI?
Are you sure that you mounted the correct shares? showmount says that a directory VMsBackup is mounted but your share in storage.cfg is VMBackup2? And also the server names are different, once st-nas1-30 and once st-nas1?
 
I even restarted the PVE node. The volume was not automatically mounted.
I recreated the store, it was mounted automatically immediately, but I see the same errors in the GUI again.
And showmount shown NFS share, but not CIFS.
# df -h /mnt/pve/VMBackup2 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on //st-nas1-30/VMBackup2 5.2T 5.0T 237G 96% /mnt/pve/VMBackup2

# pvesm scan cifs st-nas1-30 ACER Public VMBackup2
