Hi Bryan, you can use KVM with linstor to do VM snapshots. You just need to enable kvm.snapshot.enabled and kvm.vmstoragesnapshot.enabled in global settings. No NFS storage needed at all.

We want to achieve live snapshots as this is an important feature for us (can’t live without it). But based on the Cloudstack documentation, KVM Supports VM Snapshots only when using NFS Shared Storage. Linstor does support NFS, but there are some limitations to it such as not being able to resize the NFS share file (need to create a new NFS and do manual migration). How are other users overcoming this issue with Cloudstack + Linstor? Our setup details below: Compute Hypervisor: Ubuntu 20/22 LTS KVM Primary Storage: Linstor Raw Block Storage Regards, Bryan
