Hello.

I'm trying to migrate some VMs from ESXi to Proxmox 8.2.2

Everything works like a charme, but if I have a ESXi VM with spaces in name (so also spaces in files and folder) I get an error and migration does not start.

How can I solve ?

PS: Raname VM and migrate to a different storage is not applicable since I've no enought space do do that !!!)

Apparently they have a fix comming but it is not yet released. I also don't get why since the fix was checked in over 2 weeks ago.
