[SOLVED] Can't find image .raw

[Geodav]

Good day, I want to convert the image from .raw to QCOW2. However i can't find it.
My guess the cause of the problem is since it is configured as a block device.


pvesm path local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0 storage 'local-lvm' does not exist

lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert vm-100-disk-0 PVE_DISKS -wi------- 50.00g data pve twi-a-tz-- <23.00g 0.00 1.58 root pve -wi-ao---- 12.25g swap pve -wi-ao---- 6.00g

Thank you

hi,

what image are you trying to convert? is it a VM?

pvesm path local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0 storage 'local-lvm' does not exist

the error message you're getting is because you don't have a storage named local-lvm. your VG is called PVE_DISKS. you should check /etc/pve/storage.cfg along with the config for VM where the disk is attached (qm config VMID where VMID is the number of your VM) to find out where is that disk you're looking for stored.
you can check out our documentation about storage as well [0]

hope this helps

It showed me the path however going to that directory it still is not to be found.

root@proxmox:/# pvesm path PVE_DISKS:vm-100-disk-0 /dev/PVE_DISKS/vm-100-disk-0

Went through these directories also, no file to be found

that is the path to the block device. there's no raw disk allocated for that VM according to the configuration, so you'll have to convert it if you want that. you can move the disk using the GUI to another storage where it will be stored as a raw disk.

what are you trying to accomplish?
