I get the same error as before: snapshot-create koth-foo error: Requested operation is not valid: Disk '/dev/main/koth-foo' does not support snapshotting Did I miss a step? Best, Casey Below is the XML for the main volume: <volume> <name>koth-foo</name> <key>5er4qK-stqa-zzJn-Npbe-HOeH-aYfs-TULujB</key> <source> <device path='/dev/sda2'> <extent start='417685569536' end='419833053184'/> </device> </source> <capacity>2147483648</capacity> <allocation>2147483648</allocation> <target> <path>/dev/main/koth-foo</path> <permissions> <mode>0600</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>6</group> </permissions> </target> <backingStore> <path>/dev/main/koth-foo-snap</path> <permissions> <mode>0660</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>6</group> </permissions> </backingStore> </volume>
