[SOLVED] LXC/VM snapshots: Does proxmox use ZFS snapshots if running on ZFS?

[n0x0n]

Hi, I'm trying to understand how proxmox makes snapshots of VMs and LXCs. If the VM disks and LXC volumes are stored on a ZFS storage - does proxmox then use the ZFS snapshot capability? If not, what's more efficient in terms of disk space - creating a snapshot using ZFS or the proxmox GUI?

Hi!

Yes in the case of a ZFS storage Proxmox VE should use the ZFS snapshot functionality.
