Hello,
I have a vmdk disk which from virtualbox/vmware, I want to add it to a VM.
I searched in google and the answer is :
Code:
qm importdisk 109 Ubuntu.vmdk local-lvm --format=qcow2

or

qm importdisk 109 Ubuntu.vmdk local-lvm --format=vmdk

But, my vmdk file is large, my hardisk don't have enough space, and the importdisk command takes a long time.

Since the source format and the target format are both "vmdk", is there any way to COPY/MOVE vmdk disk to a VM directly?

update, the solution: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/adding-an-existing-virtual-disk-image.7614/

Thank you.
