i know i should be able to do this, and various forum entries suggest the same, but for some reason i can't. i'm trying to migrate a vm from a zfs-local proxmox host, to a lvm-local proxmox host, both of which are on version 8.2.

i installed proxmox on the destination host as ext4, then went to the data center (after adding node) and added storage>lvm-thin.

this is the source node:

Code:
zfspool: nvme5
        pool nvme5
        content rootdir,images
        mountpoint /nvme5
        nodes MD72-HB2-1
        sparse 1

this is the destination node:

Code:
lvmthin: local-lvm
        thinpool data
        vgname pve
        content images,rootdir
        nodes r730xd-1

this is the VM i'm trying to migrate:

Code:
agent: 1
balloon: 2000
bios: seabios
boot: order=scsi0;ide0;net0
cores: 32
cpu: x86-64-v2-AES
ide0: none,media=cdrom
machine: pc-q35-8.1
memory: 8000
meta: creation-qemu=8.1.5,ctime=1723473166
name: ATB-Doc-5
net0: virtio=00:15:5a:08:f0:23,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,tag=3
numa: 0
ostype: win11
scsi0: nvme5:vm-107-disk-0,cache=unsafe,discard=on,iothread=1,size=50G,ssd=1
scsihw: virtio-scsi-single
smbios1: uuid=4e5e2054-9bd8-4f13-92d9-fb657d5b1480
sockets: 1
tpmstate0: local-zfs:vm-107-disk-0,size=4M,version=v2.0
vmgenid: 359e22b8-9723-4d45-8051-39cc6028f0e3

this is the error log on the migraiton, which basically fails instantly:
Code:
