Hello,
I'm new with proxmox ,
i have an LVM Storage and i want to migrate to LVM-Thin without losing my machines , is there any option ?
My storage is /dev/hd2 which is 1.8 T.Byte and i'm using 500GB .
Have you any idea about how to migrate without losing my data ?
Because it's in production enviroment and i don't want to say that i did that fault because i'm new in the company (internship) .

I started with creating an LVM-Thin storage of 100GB for test , but how can i move my old machines there


Thank You

for VMs you can use the "move disk" feature to move disks between storages and/or formats. for containers you can only use backup/restore for now, as the move volume feature is not yet merged.
