I'd like to migrate an LXC container with a disksize of 16G to another proxmox server.
I made a vzdump and on the target server I call this:

pct create 123 /var/lib/vz/template/cache/vzdump-lxc-123-2018_10_19-16_00_36.tar --storage local-zfs

pct starts to extract the dump until 4.1G and hangs without an error message.

I tried to add the size option for rootfs:

pct create 123 /var/lib/vz/template/cache/vzdump-lxc-123-2018_10_19-16_00_36.tar --storage local-zfs --rootfs local-zfs:subvol-123-disk-0,size=20G

But pct hangs also at 4.1G

How can I create an LXC container from a template/dump with 16G?

Target system is Proxmox VE 5.2-2
Source system is Proxmox VE 5.1-51
