[SOLVED] Proxmox 5 and snapshots

[Valerio Pachera]

Hi all, I can't take snaphsots on Proxmox 5.0-10/0d270679.
The snapshot button is disabled.
No matter if the mv is running or not, if it's a CT or qemu guest.



The used storage is LVM.

LVM does not support the type of snapshots we need. You need to use LVM-thin instead.

Thank you

Just another question: live snapshots are note working with LVM but backup with snapshots works, right?
