[PVE-User] LVM Snapshot on Proxmox 2.2

[Alain Péan]

Hello,

Yes, it's right, you need only the space to store the changes. By 
default, I think  Proxmox ve 1.x installation leaved 4 GB of empty space 
in volume group, but it may be insufficient if backup takes time, or if 
the VM is heavily used. It seems that in PVE 2.2, Proxmox installation 
leaves 16 GB :
root at proxmoxtest00:~# vgdisplay
   --- Volume group ---
   VG Name               pve
   System ID
   Format                lvm2
....
   VG Size               297.59 GiB
   PE Size               4.00 MiB
   Total PE              76183
   Alloc PE / Size       72088 / 281.59 GiB
   Free  PE / Size       4095 / 16.00 GiB
