Your .ocdata are missing in the Nextcloud data folder.

Steps To Reproduce

Hello there :) I'm trying to install Nextcloud with the scripts on my fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VM on Proxmox: https://docs.hanssonit.se/s/bj0vl1ihv0jgrmfm08j0/build-your-own/d/bj0vl4ahv0jgrmfm0950/nextcloud-vm

With the first script everything worked fine and now I'm running the second script and I get the following error:

Your .ocdata are missing in the Nextcloud data folder. This probably means that you failed to mount the second drive, or that it failed to import during boot of the system. We can't continue without it, so please shutdown the machine and double check that the second disk is correctly mounted in your hypervisor/server then try again.

I selected the "manual" selection for the data directory as I have mounted a virtual HDD to /mnt/ncdata. For testing purposes I changed the permissions to 777.

I also rebooted the machine and executed the script again with sudo bash /var/scripts/nextcloud-startup-script.sh from the user "uadmin". Any ideas why the .ocdata is not created?

Expected Result

.ocdata should be created.

Actual Result

.ocdata is not created.

.ocdata is there, but the disk is failing to mount when you boot.

I've done about 100 installs on Proxmox and none have failed, so it must be something you've done that's not working. If you stick to the defaults I'm sure it will work. :)

Also a useful command: cat /etc/mtab

I decided to go now with the ZFS and let the script generate the filesystem by itself on /dev/sdb. Works nice and the performance is great, I get 112MB/s in my home network (everything is 1Gb/s). Thank you! :)
