Snapshot backup of running LXC on Lvm = not working

[meepmeep]

Hi

I just upgraded to proxmox 4 stable, and I'm trying to make a snapshot backup (backup tab) on a running LXC (filesystem LVM on ext4)

INFO: Starting Backup of VM 101 (lxc)
INFO: status = running
INFO: mode failure - some volumes does not support snapshots
INFO: trying 'suspend' mode instead
INFO: backup mode: suspend

As It said here that snapsnot for LVM thin pools will be available later.

1. What does that mean ? I'll need to reinstall all my container ?
2. Will it be simplier with another filesystem ? (I can't use ZFS because i'm using a hard raid card)

(As far as i'm concerned, it's a big steps backwards from openvz but I know you didn't really have a choice)

Hi,
Snapshot is a storage operation on LXC.
So this means your underlying storage must support snapshots.
This is at the moment the case on zfs and ceph.
As you are wrote Thin LVM will follow.
