Proxmox VE 5 Images location

[Evad]

Hi,
I am new to proxmox so please forgive my ignorance. I am trying to move vmdk to Proxmox. To do that I need to locate the images directory to place the converted vmdk's ( qemu-img convert)
From searching various web pages and forum's it seems the path should be /var/lib/vz/images However this folder appears to be empty looking at it with Winscp.
/var/lib/vz/dump - has the backups
/var/lib/vz/template/iso - has the uploaded iso's

So, obviously they are somewhere else than /var/lib/vz/images
Can you please enlighten me?

Thanks for you help...

by default (since >= 4.2) we use a 'lvm thinpool' for vm/ct storage by default, in contrast to a filesystem this is a block based storage and there are no 'files' anywhere to put for this

you can import the disk with this command though

qm importdisk <vmid> <path-to-file> <target-storage>

for example:

qm importdisk 999 /tmp/image.vmdk local-lvm

Thank you ... I was a bit lost reading the wiki and other info on the subject.
