qm config returne that normally the name must be in qcow2 format but ...there is no qcow2 file.

I discover this whith a backup failed (backup doesn't find the file)

Can you check whats the output of `file your_file_name.ext`?

.nfs000000000000001e00000002: QEMU QCOW Image (v3), 134217728000 bytes

Okay, so it seems that this file is indeed your VMs qcow file, did you try to delete or move the disk while the VM was running?

 

[de Thysebaert]

It's happend after a disconnection with the storage, not when moving the disk.

Quickly check by which processes the file is opened using `fuser filename` and `ps pids`

The file is openened by a VM .. I have stop this vm ..and the file disapears ... I have retored the machine and now all is functionning
