So I setup a new cluster and I am moving image files off via USB drive.

One reason for this is I am using Ceph and it appears the best import method is actually to add the disk to a new vm conf and move the disk from local to ceph.

I used a USB hard drive for the task, mounted it, and added a file path to the storage config.

What I ran into was: TASK ERROR: unable to parse directory volume name proxmox any time I tried to run the VM or move the file.

I tricked it by using a symlink and that seems to be working but I gotta say, isn't there a better way. Ceph mount or something where you can use an rsync from command line?
