Great, thanks oguz! Yes, that works and has corrected the mapping and fixed the issue.

for the record, this issue appears to not be about backup and recovery, but something that has recently broken which has resulted in my UID mapping to 'www-data' no longer working. It seemed quite distinct from the issue as I understood it here, so have posted a separate thread: Unable to map...

For the last year or so I've had a container running that has map of an 'nc' user (uid: 1005) on my pve host to 'www-data' (uid: 33) in an LXC unprivileged container. Has worked flawlessly. However, recently I had cause to restore from a backup and I was getting a bunch of errors related to...

Hi I've had cause to recover one of my (unprivileged) containers from backup (via the GUI). The recovery process seemed to work fine, and the container appeared to start up as expected. However, the permissions of several folders in the recovered container have been set to nobody:nogroup, and...

...and I see from https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/container-w-mount-point-snapshots.36086/ that it's on the list to do. ...and a workaround by temporarily editing the config file and removing the mount points...

...and now I've taken a snapshot on that VM, the snapshot button is now active (and working) for one of the containers (I can't be sure it wasn't before but I thought I checked them all several times) - interestingly, this is the only one without mountpoints (the sole VM also doesn't have mount...

Here's a container I use for plex that I can't snapshot in the GUI: arch: amd64 cores: 4 hostname: plex memory: 12448 mp0: /mnt/pve/remote-stagnum-media/private,mp=/media mp1: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/logs,mp=/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex/Logs net0...

Yes!

Looking in the GUI, the only difference I see between the local storage, and this one that I added, is that the local has 'thin provision' enabled? Is that necessary for snapshots?

I'm not sure I follow? The storage type is zfs, or are you asking something else? Thanks!

So I created the zpool at the CLI with the command: and then set compression: ...and then I added the 'zstorage' pool to the datacenter via the GUI.

Hi! I'm not sure - what would that involve? Apart from creating the pool and then adding it to proxmox I don't recall doing anything else. Is that what's listed on the ZFS tips and tricks page (which I've just found): zfs create -o mountpoint=/mnt/vztmp rpool/vztmp zfs set acltype=posixacl...

My option to take a snapshot of any of my containers in the GUI is greyed out. They are all hosted on a local ZFS drive (but not the proxmox boot drive) which I believe means they should be suitable for snapshots? Incidentally, snapshots run as scheduled backups fine. Is there something I've...

I have mostly resolved this now. I did a fresh install and went more slowly through setting up and configuring. There was an error in my openswitch configuration, which I believe was causing the shutdown problems. Shutdown is now quick and seamless. For the startup problems, it was a timing...

I have read that the startup issue could be a timing problem, with the network not up and running when the container is trying to start. I am using an OVS bond, and virtual LANs, both of which I assume take more time to initiate etc - could that be the problem here? I've tried adding startup...
