[pve-devel] Storage migration: LVM copy

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

maybe you can try with "qemu-img convert" (this is what I use In my test code, you can also use qcow2 or any storage as input)

qemu-img convert -f raw -O host_device myfile.raw /dev/mylvmdevice

Objet: [pve-devel] Storage migration: LVM copy 

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?
