Did i missed something?
Does Proxmox Convert by itself everything to the RAW Format if i migrate the first time a VM in a Cluster to another node?
The Storage is ZFS:

Different VMs, cause the one below was converted, but it shows raw here:

However, if i check with zfs list, its still a zvol/dataset, can anyone explain what happens there?
I think it happens for everyone, i just realised this behaviour the first time.

Cheers
 
It's likely just a matter of presentation, perhaps the original config was created with an earlier version of PVE.

If the "Storage-Default" is the same type on both nodes, then the disks were already raw (anything that's not a file, ie qcow, is raw). Just an attribute is added now.

Thanks, yeah i checked and its still the same datasets as before, or zvols like people call it.
Its just confusing.

Btw, the Proxmox version was the same, ,i started already with 8.2 iso on the new servers. Just imported with the esxi importer and moved to another node xD

Thanks for the Answer
