[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 2/4] importdisk: convert imported volume disks to base images for templates

[Daniel Kral]

Automatically converts any imported volume disk to a base volume image
if the VM is a template and the volume was imported using the
"target-disk" option, as "unused" disks are not needed to be converted
as they won't be cloned with either linked nor full clones.

Notes:
    Change to the command line output
    
    There is a small change to the console output at the end, because (a)
    it produces less code than correctly setting the $drive_id and $volid
    again, and (b) it is more consistent with the console prints of
    `create_disks` used when creating new VM disks.
