Unable to clone VM - directory is expected to be a mount point but is not mounted: '/mnt/pve/data-1'

[simonjcarr]

Hi, I have 4 nodes in a ProxMox cluster (cloud1, cloud2, ....) , one each node I have created directory storage on `/dev/sdb` with names (data-1, data-2 ....). Each directory is shared and mounted on all the other nodes also.

On Cloud3 I have created a ubuntu VM. When I click `Clone` I choose

Target Node: cloud1
VM ID: 107
Target Storage: data-1
name: k8s-1-1
Format: QEMU Image format (qcow2)

I click clone, but it fails with error message

create full clone of drive scsi0 (data-3:102/vm-102-disk-0.qcow2)
TASK ERROR: clone failed: unable to activate storage 'data-1' - directory is expected to be a mount point but is not mounted: '/mnt/pve/data-1'

I am getting this issue on all my nodes, although cloning locally to the same source works OK.

Here is the contents of `/etc/pve/storage.cfg` on cloud3

dir: local
    path /var/lib/vz
    content backup,vztmpl,iso

lvmthin: local-lvm
    thinpool data

please post the output of pveversion -v on both cloud1 and cloud3 and cat /proc/mounts on cloud3.
