Hi all!
LXC CT use raw image for root disk. Why I can't move this image on other storage like KVM's disks?

LXC disk move

I'm having this issue as well. For some reason the active disk is on the NFS share when it should be on the local storage. I need to move this, but don't see how.
I found this: http://www.jamescoyle.net/how-to/1632-move-proxmox-container-to-different-storage but it is for OpenVZ containers and not LXC containers.
I see a comment that makes it PVE 4 friendly, but I'm now stuck at:
Ideas?
Code:

You can manually scp or rsync the disk from one location to another.
First shutdown your lxc container. Then rsync or scp it from one storage location to another - this location should already be mounted in PVE so you don't cause any issues.
You will need to know the name of your node, the vmID - normally 3 numbers.
Then edit the config file on one of your proxmox nodes:
pve/nodes/<node>/lxc/<vmID>.conf
There should be a line that reads:
rootfs: <old-location>:<vmID>/vm-<vmID>-disk.raw,size=XXG
Just change the old location to the new location.

In case you need to move a disk from one locally-attached storage (thin LV) to another locally-attached storage (thin LV), you could use the instructions from here:

Then, you can follow what nolag-hosting has mentioned in the post above to edit the container config file.
