I am trying to move a disk that is 6TB from one NFS share to the other but the command times out while creating the disk. I'm guessing it's because it just takes longer. Is there a way to disable or increase this timeout? Seems to me it would be more smart for it to look for an actual failure rather than just wait and hope for the best.

Output:
Code:
create full clone of drive scsi1 (PVE_LUN1:115/vm-115-disk-1.qcow2)
Formatting '/mnt/pve/PVE_LUN4/images/115/vm-115-disk-0.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 cluster_size=65536 extended_l2=off preallocation=metadata compression_type=zlib size=6442450944000 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
TASK ERROR: storage migration failed: unable to create image: 'storage-PVE_LUN4'-locked command timed out - aborting


I'm on Proxmox 8.4.14 as I have not gotten a chance to do the upgrade yet, so if this is something that's fixed in the latest then I'll just wait until I get around to doing that.
 
Was able to get it to work, I had to disable preallocation under cluster/storage so that it creates it faster then it doesn't time out.
