[SOLVED] cannot snapshot EFI disk

[kifeo]

Hello,

I wanted to test proxmox before migrating from XCP-ng.
I installed a ceph cluster with it, and installed ubuntu server in a VM in UEFI with the EFI disk on the ceph pool.

I ended up with the following error when performing a non-RAM included snapshot :
Task Failed :
qmp command 'blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync' failed - Cannot find device=drive-efidisk0 nor node_name=drive-efidisk0

Would someone please help ?

Thanks
Regards

how does the vmconfig look like? (qm config ID)

and your 'pveversion -v' and '/etc/pve/storage.cfg' ?
also the output of "ps ax | grep -- '-id 102'"

you did not set the vms bios to ovmf, without this, the efidisk will not be included in the qemu command and cannot be snapshotted..
if you do not need ovmf, you also do not need an efidisk

Thanks !
Indeed I detached the disk, rebooted the VM and this was not used.
I suppose I wanted to install the vm in UEFI but then reverted to a BIOS without removing the disk.

Then I removed the EFI disk and I could snapshot the VM.

Best Regards,
Kifeo
