I intend to transfer iso and image storage to my Synology NAS which I can perfectly mount via commandline:
Code:
# mount -t cifs -o credentials=~/.smbCre //NAS IP/pveStorage /mnt/pve/pveStorageOnDSM/ -v
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=NAS IP,unc=\\NAS IP\pveStorage,user=********,pass=********

However, the pveproxy webUI keeps loading the sambashare with parameters in /etc/pve/storage.cfg:
Code:
cifs: dsm
        server NAS IP
        share pveStorage
        path /mnt/pve/pveStorageOnDSM
        content iso,vztmpl,backup,images
        username ********
        password ********
        smbversion 3

Anyone knows what have I done wrong? Please point it out.
Thanks in advance.
 
hi,

what about the smbversion?

mount.cifs may use a different version by default.

try to set the smbversion differently and see if that helps.

Thanks for replying.

I tried with smbversion 2 and omitting this option, but still no effect.

Actually my DSM918+ has been set to use smbversion 2 as min ver and 3 as max ver. There shouldn't be any compatibility issue with samba protocol.
 
okay.
what do you see in journalctl -xe? anything relevant for the cifs mount? also check /var/log/syslog for hints about a failed mount or similar.

Both journalctl -xe and /var/log/syslog simply say: pve pvestatd[xxxx]: storage 'dsm' is not online
 
okay... what do you get if you run pvesm scan cifs $SERVERIP?

also what is the output of pveversion -v ?
 
any update?
