Vzdump fails with unable to dump into snapshot

Hi question, my backups fail to use the snapshot.
The logs show this,


100: Feb 28 02:00:03 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 100 (openvz)100: Feb 28 02:00:03 INFO: CTID 100 exist mounted running100: Feb 28 02:00:03 INFO: status = running100: Feb 28 02:00:04 INFO: mode failure - unable to dump into snapshot (use option --dumpdir)100: Feb 28 02:00:04 INFO: trying 'suspend' mode instead100: Feb 28 02:00:04 INFO: backup mode: suspendI have free space in the LVM of about 16GB, but that VE that I want to backup is 35GB.Also I am backuping outside of the LVM-volume which I am snapshotting.Is the size of the free space a problem, or what else could be the cause of this ?
