Is there a way to convert a raw virtual disk into a Logiacl Volume in a ThinLVM storage without passing throght a backup and restore into a different storage?
Thank you

ex:
from storge: local
/var/lib/vz/images/991/vm-991-disk-1.raw

to storage local-lvm:
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
data pve twi-aotz-- 184.84g 26.16 13.06
root pve -wi-ao---- 69.50g
swap pve -wi-ao---- 8.00g
vm-108-disk-1 pve Vwi-aotz-- 12.00g data 24.33

Regards,
Luca

For LXC it is not implemented yet.

but you can use qemu-img for this task.
 
This is correct.
