Hello,

I have a LXC container that includes several disks (mount points) from different ceph pools.
Now we want to move a disk to another LXC container (disk includes just files from a smb share).
So basically LXC (100) vm-100-disk-3 -> LXC (200) vm-200-disk-3.

Backup Restore is not really a option (size/timewise).

I could edit the /etc/pve/lxc/100.conf and remove the disk.
Additionally add it at 200.conf mp3: pool_hdd:vm-100-disk-3,mp=/somewhere,size=20T.
Adding a different ID-Disk to a LXC sounds rather wrong to me and it might create problems at the future.

Is there a handy way in doing it ? Search didn't find anything reasonable, or I looked for the wrong terms :)

Yup, it will create problems. Best also rename the image to match the VMID as well.
