The statement is correct, yet I cannot say what prevented you from using it. Maybe some non-snapshottable storage like the efi partition?
I second that.
Yes, EFI disks are used. Are they just on file based storage not snapshotable? Because with LVM-Thin I can now create snapshots with these EFI disks.
From what i read in this thread, i believe to understand that snapshots could be taken from a VM on a LVM-thin storage in raw format. However, the moment i pass through disks, this breaks the ability to take snapshots. Did I get this right?
If so, is there a way to tell the snapshot mechanism to just ignore the passtrough disks? In my case, they are just media storages not related to the OS in the guest system (meaing the guest system runs perfectly fine without these passgtroughs).
If there's not, would the solution be to create a script, unmount the passtroughs, snapshot, remount? Or would there sill be something blocking it?

Hi,
yes.
No, there is no such mechanism currently, this is requested here: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1007#c20
That should work.
