Comment on Proxmox Backup Server: Bare Metal vs. Privileged LXC vs. VM?
klangcola@reddthat.com 2 weeks agoThanks for sharing! TIL about autofs. Now I’m curious to try NFS again.
What’s the failure mode if the NFS happens to be offline when PBS initiates a backup? Does PNS try to backup anyway? What if the NFS is offline while PBS boots?

Sure thing—
autofsis a pretty cool utility and it works with SMB as well.If the storage isn’t present for PBS, the backup would fail. There are files inside the directory that PBS will notice are missing.
Mounting the NFS export in the PVE host is the simplest way to get shared storage into an LXC container. You have to fight
apparmorto mount NFS or SMB inside the container directly.
