yep, thats what i meant. i just wasnt aware of the fact that this isnt
the case anymore for 4.x and above. sorry for confusion
I confirm that the snapshot of the VM, named "Auto-generated for Live Storage Migration" has been removed after the disk moving completion.Also, for a preallocated disk the "qemu-img convert" has format options raw/raw:[root@ov300 ~]# ps -ef|grep qemu-imgvdsm 18343 3585 1 12:07 ? 00:00:04 /usr/bin/qemu-img convert -p -t none -T none -f raw /rhev/data-center/mnt/blockSD/5ed04196-87f1-480e-9fee- 9dd450a3b53b/images/303287ad- b7ee-40b4-b303-108a5b07c54d/ fd408b9c-fdd5-4f72-a73c- 332f47868b3c -O raw /rhev/data-center/mnt/blockSD/ fa33df49-b09d-4f86-9719- ede649542c21/images/303287ad- b7ee-40b4-b303-108a5b07c54d/ fd408b9c-fdd5-4f72-a73c- 332f47868b3c for a thin provisioned disk instead it is of the form qcow2/qcow2[root@ov300 ~]# ps -ef|grep qemu-imgvdsm 28545 3585 3 12:49 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/qemu-img convert -p -t none -T none -f qcow2 /rhev/data-center/mnt/blockSD/5ed04196-87f1-480e-9fee- 9dd450a3b53b/images/9302dca6- 285e-49f7-a64c-68c5c95bdf91/ 0f3f927d-bb42-479f-ba86- cbd7d4c0fb51 -O qcow2 -o compat=1.1 /rhev/data-center/mnt/blockSD/ fa33df49-b09d-4f86-9719- ede649542c21/images/9302dca6- 285e-49f7-a64c-68c5c95bdf91/ 0f3f927d-bb42-479f-ba86- cbd7d4c0fb51 BTW: the "-p" option should give-p display progress bar (compare, convert and rebase commands only). If the -p option is not used for acommand that supports it, the progress is reported when the process receives a "SIGUSR1" signal.Is it of any meaning? I don't see any progress bar/information inside the gui? Is it perhaps in any other file on filesystem?Thanks,Gianluca
