Hi everyone.

I was setting up PBS as a VM in my proxmox VE setup, long story short I got it working with a NFS share, all good, proxmox sees it and can use it, but now, after enabling the "discard" option under the disk section to avoid having big backups, I'm getting this error at UI:
Code:
authentication failed - unable to read '"/etc/proxmox-backup/user.cfg"' - Permission denied (os error 13)

What the hell happened? I can't login anymore, I can go in ssh with the root user and I can edit the file just fine, what it going on? I already restarted the VM twice and tired to remove the "discard" option but nothing so far.

user.cfg file right now:
