how do i configure to remove the verification of the image file, as well as the snapshot requirement?

I looked into using the fusefs to get it working, but it never got to be able to get it working. Any thoughts?

I read it twice and I don’t get it.

Which image file exactly? The verification of the iso when installing…? (if yes you can skip that with arrow up - enter).

And which snapshot (requirement)?

We will need more information :wink:

verification of the root.img file and the private.img… the images…

Is that for LVM or for what I was asking about?

sorry, misunderstanding
dunno how to disable COW in LVM, but there is possibility to disable it for BTRFS volumes - it’s often in guides how to make SWAP with BTRFS volume.

I think it is a good answer for any user of the qvm-pool mechanism, so not only lvm. If I understand it corréctly, then pools are designed to abstract the details of different storage types…
