Hello, (Sorry for my english)

I would like to reassing a existing qcow2 image to a VM 100 (its running alreally on a another qcow2)
Its all my data (10.42TB image) ; its important to not overwrite it.

The path Is /PoolRZ2/PROXMOX/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2

How i can make this :) Thx alot :)
 
- Shut down the VM
- Move "/PoolRZ2/PROXMOX/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2" to "/PoolRZ2/PROXMOX/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2.save" (being cautious).
- Copy your .qcow2 image to "/PoolRZ2/PROXMOX/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2"
- Restart the VM.
 
Hello
The vm are on another path. The image i would like to add are on another path.

there is my config :

virtio0: local:100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2,format=qcow2,cache=writeback,size=10G
(This is the OS on this path )

I would like to add /PoolRZ2/PROXMOX/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2 (10.47TB)
 
I have this error :
command 'zfs create -V 11167334400k PoolRZ2/vm-100-disk-1' failed: exit code 1 (500)
