Converting LXC to template: "Template feature is not available"

[madduck]

Hello,

I am fairly new to Proxmox. I've searched Reddit and this forum, and I hope I am not asking an FAQ that's already been answered. I couldn't find anything on the Web. Please bear with me.

I have set up Proxmox on a NAS. Due to it only having 8Gb of memory, I chose to go with LVM+ext4 and not ZFS. Now I'd like to convert an LXC container to a template, but it's not letting me, saying:

TASK ERROR: Template feature is not available for 'julia-hdd:vm-103-disk-0'

Is the template feature somehow restricted to ZFS? Is there a way to enable it with LVM? I don't see why not, as LVM does thin snapshots as well.

Or am I doing something wrong otherwise?

Thanks for any hints!

Best,
martin

Do you you talk abou LVM, or LVM-thin. LVM-thin should have all features (LVM has not).

Hm, shows what I know. Yeah, I was using plain LVM of course, as I had converted this host from libvirt to pve. I'll look into conversion to a thin pool! Thank you!
