Where are the qcow2 disks in version 5.1

[kumarullal]

Hi All,
In earlier version, the disks were found in /var/lib/vz/images
Where are they now? I have converted a Virtualbox vdi image to qcow2. I created a KVM VM with the same config as virtualbox. Now I want to replace the blank qcow2 disk with the VDI convrted qcow2 disk in the same location as the vm disk. I cannot find it. WHere is it now?
Thanks in advance

Maybe you just using the new default, lvm-thin.

So virtual disks are lvm-thin volumes and not qcow2 files by default.

So, how do I use qcow2 in proxmox 5.1?

Depends on what storage you created the VM. If you choose "Local" it should be in the folder you are seeking

Just create a directory storage (e.g. local or nfs) and use this as storage for your virtual disks.

Thanks for the reply.
What is the advantage of local-lvm over qcow2?

lvm-thin is faster.

I'm also facing the same issue.
As we are using proxmox 3.2 version previously, currently we want to migrate all the VM's to newer version of proxmox 5.2, but we dint find the location where it has to be copied. And the newly created VM's are accepting only RAW format. But all my previous VM's are qcow2 or vmdk format.

So please help me out as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
