Hello,

I want to migrate my KVM VMs from RAW format to QCOW2 in order to use snapshot feature.
I have found how to convert the disk file but I don't know where I can change the disk path (it is in read only in the web gui).
Is there a kind of XML file that I could edit somewhere ?

Thank you

Hi,
no xml - plain text!
Look at /etc/pve/qemu-server/*.conf

local:150/vm-150-disk-1.raw mean /var/lib/vz/images/150/vm-150-disk-1.raw because storage local is defined as "/var/lib/vz".
