clone vm fails - beginner problem?

[defi00]

Hi, when cloning a linux vm I always get the clone without the newest changes.
E.g. I only add a file or an alias or install a new package on the original vm, which all runs fine.
But after cloning (or templating and cloning) and using the new cloned vm, all my changes are lost - what am I doing wrong?
My proxmox is running on a raspberry pi (bookwormI and I did all so far with the web frontend.
TIA for your help and suggestions!

You could also try to run "sync" inside the VM prior to cloning.

I just tried with sync from within the VM. But I still have the same behavior: my cloned vm is reset to the initial state.
And: Should a proper stop from proxmox not take care about the syncing?

What is the problem here? I'm quite puzzled and 404. The snapshotting works fine but cloning?!
Is it possible that this is because of the RaspberryPI environment and the arch64? .. strange to belief because everything else seems to be working.
Would it make a difference if the cloning would happen from CLI and not from web-GUI?
