Hi,
I have a vm with a couple snapshots but it doesn't let me rollback a couple snapshots, only the most recent, I need to rollback once, delete that snapshot and then rollback again for the snapshot I want.
If this the normal in proxmox or I am doing something wrong?

it depends on the storage - for some it is only possible to rollback to the last snapshot, and not any arbitrary one.

Are you using a disk with ZFS?
If so, you cannot roll back to a snapshot other than the most recent one.

To roll back to a snapshot from before that, I believe you would need to delete all the intermediate snapshots.

That’s from my distant memory, so I’m not sure if that’s still the case.

I am using volume from a storage and it is in LVM format
 
If this is the snapshot tree you're looking for, it uses a volume with LVM-Thin, but it won't end up in the state you're describing...

As you can see from the image, this indicates that it is a virtual disk created on `nvme_thin`.

As you can see from the image, my test computer uses an LVM-Thin volume.

I created an additional one, and I think I was able to roll it back, but I apologize if that’s not what you meant.

I Believe it works fine with LVM-Thin, but I am using LVM
 
Sorry for the confusion.
In that case, doesn't LVM have the same limitations as ZFS? Why not just use LVM-Thin?
