That means your hostname is wrong on the the following step:

# echo “synology_hostname:/volume1/ProxmoxBackupServer /opt/NFSfromSynology/ nfs defaults 0 0” >> /etc/fstab

From the Proxmox server, try pinging your hostname. On my example it is “synology_hostname”, but you have to use the name or IP of your synology server

This is a standard user on Linux distributions. Doesn’t your proxmox box have it?

Try chmoding the share to 755 as opposed o 770 and let me know how it goes

Just one thing you have to change
chmod 770 /opt/NFSfromSynology -> chmod 775 /opt/NFSfromSynology
Otherwise it dont work for me.

I have carried out everything according to these instructions. Unfortunately I get an error message in Proxmox: permission denied (os error 13) (500) what can I do?

These instructions worked for me, however I am getting an error on the dashboard under “datastore usage” section that shows: Bad Request (400)
unable to open chunk store ‘NFSfromSynology’ at “/opt/NFSfromSynology/.chunks” – Permission denied (os error 13). Do you have this same error? Please let me know. Thanks.
