BTW, we already have some code to support such behavior here: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-manager.git;a=blob;f=PVE/VZDump.pm;h=5f77b5486318a979d2d94bfc15ff97e46d8465c5;hb=HEAD#l868 The vzdump 'prepare' hook can simply return a "mode failure.*" exception. This causes vzdump to fall back to 'suspend' mode. We use that if a storage does not support snapshots. Code in pct is also already there: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-container.git;a=blob;f=src/PVE/VZDump/LXC.pm;h=7062bf3b6dec745c0ac5cfe9540c0564bca68a7b;hb=HEAD#l139 I guess you just need to add a special case for your storage type there. hope that helps? _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
