qcow2

Hello All, For powered-off VMs, we cannot view or query the size of QCOW2 disks on LVM storage — unless the VMs are powered on or activated via SSH. Is this a bug?

Hi everyone, we’re currently facing an issue after migrating a legacy SCO OpenServer 6 virtual machine from VMware to Proxmox. Here's what we’ve done so far: Successfully converted the original .vmdk file to .qcow2 using qemu-img. Created a new VM in Proxmox and attached the converted .qcow2...

Hello everyone I have looked online but cant seem to find any where to get the option for qcow2. i can't change the format on my vm's when selecting the format option on the disks page on creating a vm. I have read online (maybe totally wrong) that i need to change my disk to File based...

I am one of the (possible) flood of former ESXi users, who will not doubt be asking questions here during their migration attempts. I have my PVE setup, zfs, working zpools and most of my virtual machines imported from ESXi, I have one VM that is particularly large, and it is on its way to my...

Dear all, I'd like to set some defaults within PVE, but neither the manual nor the forum provided info on this: I want to have all VMs hard drives, created or reassigned, to be configured with "cache=directsync" When creating a VM, adding a HDD or detaching a disk and running "reassign...

We use Proxmox Backup Server and Client v3.3.1 to backup our KVM guests. These use qcow2 for the disks with ext4 as file system. To ensure that the backed up images are valid, the backed up disks are mounted via proxmox-backup-client map after uploading to the Proxmox Backup Server and checked...

Hello everyone! I'm setting up GlusterFS in my Proxmox labs, aiming to have shared storage from a single node (the disks are all in one server running GlusterFS server), while the other nodes connect to this server to use its storage. The basic GlusterFS configuration was successful: the other...

Hi All I have a qcow2 image of Redhat VM. My understanding from the storage guide is that only directory backend that supports qcow2 image. My question is if I have imported a qcow2 image on the directory backend, can I instantiate a VM on some other storage type, like LVM ? I want to use...

Hi, I know that there is already "LVM over iSCSI/FC" for shared block storage (SAN) which carves out LV from a shared VG/LUN for individual VM disks - but with no snapshot and thin provisioning support my question is why is there no (extended) storage plugin which provides 1.) "QCOW2 over/on...

I didn't know in which forum I could've asked, so my apologize for my asking here. Converting a qcow2 image to qcow2 image won't been done properly. Error while comparing with base disk: "Content mismatch". Using -c flag (compressing) will fix this issue. Why is that? actually using the above...

Hello all, It's probably a dumb question but I'd like some clarifications on QCow2 file and Proxmox. I came from a a basic CentOS + KVM environment and converted it to Proxmox and I don't understand certain aspect. - Why do I have to run "qm importdisk" on qcow2 file before being able to use...

I am using the qcow2 image from Debian 12 for a local vm. I followed the instructions to get and put the file in a new template structure, created a base VM and attached the qcow2 as a virtio disk. The original size once attached was 2GB with about 1.5GB already used. I want to resize this to...
