[SOLVED] How to copy an raw disk manualy on ZFS

[fireon]

Hello,

i migrated VMs from plain KVM to Proxmox ZFS. Without ZFS i have done this, this way:

- Import Proxmox VM
- copy manualy the right image to VM (cp /mnt/backup/oldvmiamge.raw /var/lib/vz/images/100/vm-100-disk-1)

How i can to this with an ZFSstorage as target? There are only this files:

 /dev/zvol/v-machines/vm-101-disk-1

Thanks and best Regards

If the original is raw formatted, can't you just create the vm, then dd the disk image to /dev/zvol/v-machines/vm-101-disk-1? I've not tried it, so test before really doing it.

Hmm, ok maybe this works same like lvm, yes, test it today.

Let us know how it goes.

YES! DD works fine!

dd bs=1M if=<device> of=<zfsblockdata>

 

[redmop]

Awesome.
