As far as I can remember the tests I've done on that subject with an older version on pve, Yes you can use the vmdk directly (as Lapointemar said) as long as it is accessible from a datastore and migrate the storage (or qemu convert) at a later time.

are you logged in with a user that has the 'Sys.Modify' privileges? Thanks dcsapak, the new group wasn't properly configured, My bad I should have caught that!

Still the same issue In incognito:

Hi, For some unknown reason, I no longer have the "Update" menu from my node. This probably happened following an update but I'm not sure since I often update via the console. Any ideas why this did happen or how to fix it? Thanks, Packages: proxmox-ve: 5.3-1 (running kernel...

An option I used in the past was to backup VM and containers uncompressed and then use borg backup to backup the data. Since it can deduplicate/compress and can have retention you can get pretty good results. https://www.borgbackup.org I remember that the deduplication wasn't optimal because of...

I would be extremly supprised if changing the kernel would change anything related to your problem.

If you are using zfs, you can check issue 6171 on zfsonlinux github to see if it's related, hopefully a patch is coming.. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/z_null_int-with-99-99-io-load-after-5-1-upgrade.38136/page-3
