Hello,

I am trying to create a vm with a dd of 30 TB. But the raw format does not seem to accept this size.
Virtual Environment 6.1-5

Datacenter
Search:
Server View
logs
Formatting '/data1/images/101/vm-101-disk-0.raw', fmt = raw size = 31138512896000
TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 101 - unable to create image: qemu-img: /data1/images/101/vm-101-disk-0.raw: The image size is too large for file format 'raw'

I do not know what to do.....
