[manjotsc]

I want to able FTP in to /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 in Proxmox, I am storing my virtual machines images there.

Need help,
Thanks

you can't. LVM images are block devices, not files.

 

[manjotsc]

So what should I use other than LVM?

What do you want to do with your VM images?

 

[manjotsc]

I want to bring a VM from virtualbox to proxmox. According to this guide.

To import a disk image you can run qm importdisk <vmid> <path to image file> <storage> See https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pv...trong_pvesm_strong_proxmox_ve_storage_manager

In your case it would be qm importdisk 100 <path to image file> PhyStorage. The tricky part if the image is quite big, is to make it available to the PVE node. How big is it?

 

[manjotsc]

It's about 30GB.

I don't see how big the root FS is, but if it can hold more than 30GB you can SFTP the file to the home directory of the root user and then run the qm importdisk command.

Well I used SMB share to import it, but I am getting this error now Windows XP Blue Screen 0x0000007b

Try to change the disk controller from `scsi` to something more low level such as IDE or SATA. To do so, first detach the disk and then edit the detached disk.
Don't forget to change the boot order in the Options panel of the VM.

I tried no luck same error.
