What are the file systems in your volume group? Either resize one of those or delete one.

That's already clear. But how can this be fixed ?
The fysical harddisk is big enough...

You don't have any free space left in your volume group to create snapshot.

The server is a PROXMOX v1.8 READY installed from OVH, upgraded some time ago to 1.9 - but also before this upgrade I had the above upgrade.

Some time ago, I get my 2nd OVH-server (this time with a PROXMOX 1.9 ready to go system from OVH): this new one doesn't have this problem.

So, it seems the PROXMOX installation from OVH is changed (and improved). I would like to fix the 1st server too !

I have tried a few things, but I can't fix it...
I am desperate !
I hope somebody can help ?
Many thanks in advance !
