Hello,
I would like to be able to do live snapshots of my VMs. The disk images for my test VMs are currently sitting on an xfs formatted RAID array. Can I create a volume group with my array, format it as xfs, mount it to a directory, add it as storage in proxmox and have working lvm snapshots?
Sorry if this is confusing, I am having difficultly wording it. Please ask for clarification if needed.
Thanks!

**EDIT**
So after a lot of experimenting I have discovered that what I was asking cant be done (makes sense). However I realized that a .raw/.vmdk etc could be converted to a host_device "image" (duh!!) so I was able to go ahead with LVMs and snapshots!
Thank you Proxmox team for making such a wonderful VM platform!!
