Move image from local to DRBD storage

[Erk]

Hi do you move an existing VM that uses the /var/lib/vz local storage for it's disk image, to using DRBD for storage?

The DRBD doesn't have a mountable file system like say NFS does so I can't do a simple copy.

I am stuck.

backup/restore is a way (qmrestore, using the --storage option)

Thanks for the tip that worked, maybe add it to the DRBD Wiki page?

It seems to take a lot longer then say doing an offline migration of the same VM to a different node in the cluster. Not sure where the bottle neck is.

yes, you can it it.
