Proxmox 3.4-3, 3 systems in cluster.
2 problems - the easy one is the typo in the error message ("storagy").
the not so easy one- My VMS are using LVM and/or ZFS block storage on local machines. VMs are stopped (offline migration). Can't migrate VM to another machine. Error message is:
Failed to sync data - can't migrate 'vm...' - storagy type 'lvm' not supported

And similar error for zfs.
If I move the storage to local file (raw or qcow), then offline migration works! I converted all my local qcow/raw disk images to ZFS block storage after upgrading to 3.4, thinking there might be a performance improvement, plus got to learn more about ZFS. What is the point of ZFS (or LVM) block device storage, if I can't (offline) migrate VMs - assuming this behavior is intentional. I thought migration worked with LVM in previous versions, but I could be mistaken since previously some of my VMs used local storage and some used LVM block storage, and I may not have tried migrating an LVM based one before, and only tried it now because it failed with ZFS storage.

Even with this glitch, Proxmox rocks. Thank you.
