[pve-devel] Storage migration: LVM copy

[Michael Rasmussen]

Hi all,

Storage migrate to a LVM volume means, for all I know, using dd
if=current_image of=new_image bs=1M. For two reason I wish there were
some other way of doing it:

1) Copies the entire block device bit by bit even if bits are zero
2) Painfully slow due to 1)

Any other, faster, way of doing this?

<dark> Turns out that grep returns error code 1 when there are no
matches. I KNEW that.  Why did it take me half an hour?
