Hi,

I am trying to move a container's storage to my ceph storage - and it just hangs forever.

I have success with moving VM's, but every time I try to move the container to the ceph storage it just hangs.

My syslog has this entry, which might be the culprit - since it gets logged every time I try.

Feb 12 11:49:17 pve3 pvedaemon[3339310]: malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Tools.pm line 1011, <GEN7333> chunk 1.

Same result whether or not I do it from the UI or via
pct move-volume 101 rootfs vmdata

Is this a bug or something in my environment?

output from pveversion:

pve-manager/7.3-6/723bb6ec (running kernel: 5.15.35-1-pve)

I am trying to decommission a server, but its hard if I cannot move all containers away from the server.

Anyone have any good ideas?

Thanks in advance
 
I found a work around - in case someone gets the same error:

Restore the container from a backup - and select the new storage as the target.

That works :)
