TASK ERROR: command 'systemctl stop mnt-pve-storage2.mount' failed: exit code 1

Hello,
I am approaching Proxmox for the first time. I have set up a test server, installed Proxmox, and created 4 VMs. I partitioned my RAID with 50 GB for the OS, Storage1 in LVM, and Storage2 by creating a directory in XFS for testing. I connected a second node. I would like to remove Storage2, so I went to the Datacenter instance and deleted Storage2. Then, I went to the local PVE server and tried to delete the directory, but I encountered the following error:

Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details.
TASK ERROR: command 'systemctl stop mnt-pve-storage2.mount' failed: exit code 1

... all, of course, from the webgui

Hi,
it might be that the directory was still in use and could not be unmounted because of that. The error message tells you where to look next: See "journalctl -xe" for details. You can use e.g. lsof /mnt/pve/storage2 to see which processes are still accessing it.

"Thank you very much for the response. I performed a reboot of the PVE, and it removed the directory for me."
