Creating qcow2 format with basic installation

[Gyari]

Hello!

I've followed the tutorial on the forum to install proxmox. Everything works just fine, except one thing. I'd like to make snapshots, but if i choose the LVM what i've created (Point 7 in the installation steps), i can't change the image format, there is only RAW image format, and i can't change it. Is there any way to change the image format if i've used this installation method?

Thanks any help you can provide!

There is no need to use qcow2 on LVM, LVM provides all the features it supports directly ("raw" does not refer to a raw file, but simply tells you that the data is stored directly (thus "raw") on the LVM volume). qcow2 is only used for directory-based storages. See our documentation for more info on which storages support which features.
