The current guest configuration does not support taking new snapshots

[xmox]

Hello,
newbie here. Today installed Proxmox, seems I will very like it! Just have a small problem.
Have Ubuntu Server 20.04 VM. I can't create snapshots.

Proxmox is installed in SSD, VMs in HDD.

Some info

Hi,

Is your storage support the snapshots? - check here [0] if your storage support snapshots

Hi,
using HDD from windows. So it was NTFS. Any command to show if it's supported?

I mean storage on Proxmox VE, here you can see the storage types on Proxmox VE [0]

Don't know if I'm understading correctly, probably not.
maybe LVM?

In Datacenter - Storage: have data LVM, local Directory local-lvm LVM-Thin

I followed this guide and skipped step 6

hi,
today I installed proxmox again, same problem.

SSD / installed proxmox there
HDD / for VMs, added in pve - disks - directory

Any idea how can I create snapshots there?

Can you please send the config for your VM and the output of cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg command

Hi
I found a solution to this problem, by going to VM in the "Hardware" section and seeing if there are any drivers that load a storage or image that has a different name. for example ; I have a qnap for snapshot and I had to reinstall it with another name, and I had stayed in the virtual one, preloaded an iso with the previous name of the qnap.

I hope you can solve the problem, I make my contribution in case it helps
