[SOLVED] Move LXC container root disk from Directory to LVM-Thin storage

[Flaxe]

Hi!

When I first setup my Proxmox installation, I installed my LXC containers on a Directory storage. I later realized this was a mistake since Directories doesn't support snapshots. So, now I want to move these containers to a LVM-Thin storage, but I'm not sure how to do this.

Current Root Disk for CT 100: local-data01:100/vm-100-disk-1.raw,size=8G
New storage I want to move the CT to: local-lvm

I would appreciate any help. I've tried to search the forums, wiki and Google but wasn't able to find exactly what I wanted. Thanks.

I would use backup/restore:

# vzdump 100 --stdout| pct restore <new_vmid> - -rootfs local-lvm:8

Thank you dietmar, everything seem to work fine
Marking as solved.

in year 2022 if you come across this issue, you can just use the WebUI to move the disk.
