Dear all,

I am trying to enable my QNAP NAS as a backup storage, unfortunately without success so far. I always get the follwoing error "create storage failed: cfs-lock 'file-storage_cfg' error: no quorum! (500)".

First I tried to add it as a SMB/CIFS storage.
/usr/bin/smbclient -L //qnap-nas -U pve02.nfs
was succssful and listed all directories. But
pvesm add cifs backup --server qnap-nas --share pve.nfs --username pve02.nfs --password not_secure --smbversion 2.1
results in error "create storage failed: cfs-lock 'file-storage_cfg' error: no quorum! (500)". After that i tried /etc/fstab and was able to mount the nas-drive successfully. I was able to list the content and read and copy some files.

After that I wanted to make this directory available in PVE and tried to add the directory manually (via storage / add / directory option). Unfortunately the same error occurs. What am I doing wrong ?
