## Symptoms

- * When you create a snapshot, Gaia Portal shows this error:

  "*not enough space to create a snapshot*"
* The output of the commands "`lvdisplay`" and "`lvs`" shows a partition called **lv_current_snap**, an old slapshot partition that consumes 32GB of disk space, but Gaia Portal does not show an old snapshot.

* When you delete the old snapshot through the CLI, this error appears:

  "*can not remove lv_current_snap: no such file or directory*"
