#How Mount-View RaidZ of Proxmox on Proxmox Backup Server LXC

Hello everyone,
I have a problem, I have been using Proxmox Server for over a year, I created a RaidZ and where I do LXC and VM backups without any problems, now I wanted to improve it even more by installing Proxmox Backup Server and have it manage everything so that I can easily access the files of each backup and have it do what the normal system does.
But once I installed PBS via Helper-Script LXC sees the nvme disks but does not see them mounted or even the raid so I cannot create the database to join the two versions of Proxmox.. can anyone give me a hand?
I also tried to mount the folder where I would like to manage backups on PBS with the command:
"mp0: /nvme_raidz,mp=/mnt/nvme_raidz"
The folder is mounted that from the PBS terminal I can access it and create/delete files but when I try to put it as a database it gives: "EPERM: Operation nont permitted"

Thank you in advance.

I know this is months old, but did you ever figure this out? I'm doing something similar except trying to map it to my Synology NAS share and I get the same error when trying to create the data store.

PBS uses a special user called 'backup' to take FULL control of the datastore. PBS also has no concept of NFS or SMB shares, it only supports disks which it has direct access to. I have managed to get it working with an iSCSI target on TrueNAS, but it wasn't a process for the fient hearted. To be honest, it's far better to setup PBS on a deicated machine, something with absolutely minimal resources apart from disk capacity, because the backup files are ONLY accessible via the PBS and if the Proxomox is down you will not be able to 'copy' any backup data from te PBS datastore.!
