We will share an external hard drive from a Windows, FreeNAS/TrueNAS, Synology machine to Proxmox and share it with existing containers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EVERYTHING IS DONE FROM THE SHELL OF THE NODE

mkdir /mnt/(name of your share)

nano /etc/fstab

ADD LINE LINKING THE SHARE TO PROXMOX

//(IP Address)/(directory of share) /mnt/(share name) cifs username=(YOUR USERNAME),password=(YOUR PASSWORD),iocharset=utf8,noperm 0 0

Example://192.168.1.13/Temp /mnt/Temp cifs username=Lo-Res,password=thisisnotmypassword,iocharset=utf8,noperm 0 0

SAVE THE FILE AND RELOAD THE MOUNT

mount -a

NOW YOU CAN ADD THE MOUNT TO THE xxx.CONFIG FILE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONNECT Proxmox SHARE

go to the shell of the Node

cd /etc/pve/lxc/(container you want to add the share too; example 100.conf)

mp0: /mnt/(Your Share),mp=/mnt/

Example: mp0: /mnt/Tank/,mp=/mnt/Tank

If the mount doesn't auto connect after reboot try this

Go to thee Shell of the Node:

nano /etc/network/if-up.d/fstab

Add this content:

#!/bin/sh
