[SOLVED] Snapshot running VM taking forever

[Roger_cwb]

Hi,


After updated to version 6.2 when I try to create a Snapshot from a VM is taking forever and not finish.

I see the box Task - VMID - Snaphost, behind Preparing but stay this way.

If I stop the snapshot routine, the VM stay locked and with a Snapshot saying Delete that never disappear, just deleting VM and restore from some backup.

Is someone else having this problem?

Hi,

Snapshot works here, is the problem on all VMs or just one?

With some that I tried, I will do more tests with other node.

Thanks for answer.

Hi I have the same problem tonight...
Proxmox 6.2-4 snapshot stays in prepare status forever...

I have this happening too. CT snapshot backups fail and leave a preparing snapshot that can only be deleted
from CT conf file...

My error is:

It seems to be happening to all CT's that have a bind mount to the cephfs mount on the host.
Removing the bind mount the issue doesn't appear.

I've had it working until last week, why is this happening now?

FYI: Today's update (I think it was pve-container) solved the issue.
