system creating "images" folder on NFS shares

[triks]

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?

thats very helpful - thank you. The NFS shares are used for storing administrative documentation and software.

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
