I've had issues in the past moving HDDs from one storage to another. If the HDD is large (say 200GB), it seems to be an issue of saturating the network connection for a long period can cause issues with other VMs going read only (or worse).

Is there a sane way to rate limit these operations? I'm aware I could do it by taking the VM offline and using scp, but I prefer to not shut these VMs down.
