Hi,

I want to migrate an Hyper-v VM to Proxmox 8.1
I have configured the disks in ZFS.
- 1 volume to boot and Proxmox (500 Go - ZFS)
- 1 volume for the VMs (7 To - ZFS)

The VHD file has a size of 620 Go.

To migrate, I use the following command :
qm importdisk 100 /root/vhd-file.vhd vm-zfs

The command is executed correctely but at the end, I have the following error :
unable to open file '/etc/pve/nodes/pve1/qemu-server/100.conf.tmp.167849' - Input/output error
This error is caused by an temporary file saved in the directory /etc/pve.

Question : is it possible to change the location of the temp files ?

If necessary, I can reinstall my server.

Thank you
Regards
Francois

No, you cant change that location. However, the *.conf file is just 10-20 line of text. If you are getting I/O errors you should investigate those. Check the "dmesg" output, as well as "journalctl -n 500".
The I/O error is usually initiated by Kernel up the application stack, so in most cases there is truly a disk/location issue.
Was/is this node part of a cluster? If so, you should check the state of the cluster, as /etc/pve can be a PMXCFS, and it could be in R/O state due to service degradation.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in replying.
I solved this problem by connecting via SSH.

The error only occurred when opening a shell session on the UI.
I don't know why.

Thanks
