Problem:
I scheduled a backup and set to always send an email.
The backup fail to start because of and issue on the backup storage.
I get no mail at all.
Nothing is reported in the tasks table.
More info:
I get an email from cron daemon with subject
Cron <root@pve> vzdump 101 --mailnotification always --mailto '...hidden...' --quiet 1 --node pve --storage cubo --compress lzo --mode snapshot
The mail body contains:
unable to activate storage 'cubo' - directory '/mnt/pve/cubo' does not exist
I checked the mount point and that's what I get:
ls -la /mnt/pve/
ls: cannot access /mnt/pve/cubo: Stale file handle
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 25 16:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 29 12:15 ..

This storage is an nfs storage and the destination server has been rebooted in the past.
I tried to disable and re-enable the storage hoping that proxmox was able to mount but it fails.
I'm using proxmox 4.2-2/725d76f0.
1) My main concern is that proxmox didn't handle the error and reported no message.
To fix the issue I simply rebooted the server.
If you have any suggestion in case it will happen again, please answer back.
2) do you think that I will always get 'Stale file handle' when a nfs storage reboot or goes off-line for some time?
