Use local folder as a storage

[Kyar]

Hello,

I have the lastest PBS on a LXC container.

I have add a mount point. Now I have for example /mnt/BACKUP directly on the PBS.

How can I choose this folder as a storage in the dashboard of PBS ?

Thanks you.

if I understood correctly, you have to add /mnt/BACKUP on like this



my "external" is your "BACKUP"

Bye

unable to create chunk store 'PBS' at "/mnt/BACKUP/PBS" - EPERM: Operation not permitted

I need to give permissions I think

 

[Kyar]

root@PBS:~# touch /mnt/BACKUP/PBS/test
root@PBS:~# ls /mnt/BACKUP/PBS/
test

I can read an write on this folder, it's strange

"root" - can read an write on this folder, but your PBS-LXC need access for "backup:backup" group:user!

Yes :

root@PBS:/mnt# df -h

I can't change access :

root@PBS:/mnt# chmod 777 BACKUP/PBS/
chmod: modification des droits de 'BACKUP/PBS/': Opération non permise

Or :

root@PBS:/mnt# chown backup:backup BACKUP/PBS
chown: modification du propriétaire de 'BACKUP/PBS': Opération non permise

Any developments here?
I'm facing something similar, except my drive is mounted on host with zpool import.
I followed their guidelines here https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Unprivileged_LXC_containers
but still getting an error when trying to boot it.
If I don't follow the permissions I can access the bindmount through the shell but now when I edit the location under datastore.cfg
Any insights would be much appreciated.
