Add backup option to LVM

[Shatalov Vadim]

Hello!
If i right understand i cant do backup in datastore with type "LVM".
Maybe i can change config file to add this option?

Because for me important to do backup.

LVM is a block level storage, you can only use the LVs as block device, not as file level storage [0].

You could create an LV on your LVM and put a filesystem on top. This filesystem can then be mounted and used as directory storage for backups.

Hello Mira, thank you for you answer



After when i try add Directory, a have this problem "No Disks unused"

Maybe because on my /dev/sdb1 already have working VMs
And this disk already has filesystem ext2
Or i did something wrong?
