Trying to make a backup with:

vzdump --snapshot 10000

makes another kind of copy:

INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump --snapshot 10000
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 10000 (openvz)
INFO: CTID 10000 exist mounted running
INFO: status = CTID 10000 exist mounted running
INFO: mode failure - unable to detect lvm volume group
INFO: trying 'suspend' mode instead

This is the result of vgdisplay:

  --- Volume group ---
  VG Name               gexterior
  System ID             
  Format                lvm2

  Free  PE / Size       265 / 1,04 GiB
  VG UUID               *****************

I've tried this in another computer with separate volume for /vz and it doesn't help.
According to the possible bug in subfunction get_lvm_mapping in /usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump.pm , I've tested results of commands:

lvs --units m --separator ':' --noheadings -o vg_name,lv_name,lv_size 2>/dev/null
  gexterior:sistema:19072,00m
  gexterior:swap:5720,00m
  gexterior:vz:1881504,00m

env LANG=C lvs --units m --separator ':' --noheadings -o vg_name,lv_name,lv_size 2>/dev/null
  gexterior:sistema:19072,00m
  gexterior:swap:5720,00m
  gexterior:vz:1881504,00m

env LANGUAGE=en lvs --units m --separator ':' --noheadings -o vg_name,lv_name,lv_size 2>/dev/null
  gexterior:sistema:19072,00m
  gexterior:swap:5720,00m
  gexterior:vz:1881504,00m

T've tried to replace the "--units m" by "--units M" and also the regex "\." by "[\.,]" but the backup method results the same.

I'm using vzdump 1.2.4
A patch is needed for function get_lvm_mapping in the file "VZDump.pm":

Change the line:

if ($line =~ m|^\s*(\S+):(\S+):(\d+(\.\d+))M$|) {

For the following:

if ($line =~ m|^\s*(\S+):(\S+):(\d+([\.,]\d+))[mM]$|) {

Then LVM devices will be well-detected worldwide.
