just wondering if anyone has seen this on their system and if there is a fix to prevent this?

Proxmox=NFS client / Synology NAS=NFS server
NFS Storage 'sharename' is on node 'local'

PVE 7.2-11
DSM 7.1.1-42962

thanks in advance.
 
Hi,
yes, if you select content type images for the storage, then Proxmox VE will create a folder for it, because it will store the images there. You can prevent it with pvesm set sharename --mkdir 0 upon storage activation, but the folder will still be created when you create an image on the storage.

What are you intending to use the storage for?
 
So it's not really a storage used by Proxmox VE then. If you still want to add it (I guess to see the usage?), then I'd recommend using pvesm set sharename --mkdir 0 --content ''. So there is no content added from Proxmox VE by accident ;)
