Hi,

I have a KVM VM with 4 partitions (2 local + 2 NFS)

Code:
ide0: local:100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2,cache=directsync
ide1: local:100/vm-100-disk-2.qcow2,cache=directsync
ide2: nfs02:100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2,cache=directsync
ide3: nfs02:100/vm-100-disk-2.qcow2,cache=directsync
And when I try to run a backup in snapshoot mode, the backup return error and continue with suspend mode...

Code:
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 100 --remove 0 --mode snapshot --storage backup --node pve01
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 100 (qemu)
INFO: status = running
INFO: mode failure - unable to detect lvm volume group
INFO: trying 'suspend' mode instead

INFO: adding '/var/lib/vz/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2' to archive ('vm-disk-ide0.qcow2')

The NFS server, has the shared folder in a LVM...

Code:

I have other VM using only local storage, and the snapshoot is Ok...

Any idea about what is the problem?

Thanks!
