ZFS currently only supports offline migration to ZFS, and the cloudinit volume is always offline migrated. you can move it over to your local storage, then migration should work.

Thank you,
How can i move cloudinit volume to local storage without shutdown that VPS.
I have only the option to remove or add for the cloudinit in the hardware tab of the VPS

 

[fabian]

I don't think that is possible at the moment on the UI, but it should work with `qm disk move ..`

Thank you so much its working now.
