some questions about snapshot
1.I use snapshot schedule to create snapshots daily,keep 3 snapshots.Now I can see 3 snapshots on webUI,but all snapshot files created before are still on secondary storage.
How to let cloudstack clean the old snapshots files?
2.There are global settings about "delta snapshot" and "full snapshot",I find that the default snapshot of volume a full snapshot,how to do a delta snapshot?

One month has passed.
Now I compile and installe cloudstack 4.2 from resouce code,but I find the issue is not resolved.
Old napshot files on server are still not deleted by snapshot schedule.

It can delete the older snapshots on the webUI,but the files are not deleted actually.
If I go to the snapshot folder of secondary storage,I can see all the snapshot files.
I use kvm as hypervisor,could you tell me how to let cloudstack create delta snapshots daily and full snapshots every 7 days?
Thank you.

Subject: Re: some questions about snapshot
About the first question:
Are you talking about the recurring snapshot feature? If yes, AFAIK, It is
supposed to delete the 1st snapshot when you take the 4th one.
Regarding the second one,
You are right about settings present in global category for full and delta
and they are closely tied to hypervisor. What is the hypervisor you are
using?
Thanks,
SWAMY
