I use NFS only for backups which happens at night, so there isn't any
write on NFS.

There isn't any useful log on qnap NAS, but most of times its RAM is
full and it doesn't have any cache. Maybe qnap prevents writing when
it's fully used and maybe proxmox thinks it has complete access over
/dev/sdb and therefore when it sees it cannot write gives an
input/output error.

Isn't there a tweak in proxmox to retry writing on iscsi until it succeeds?
