<div dir="ltr">Hi Christopher,<div><br></div><div>no, that's not supported out of the box. To register a new LVM based image, the source has to be a regular file located in the frontend (or an url).</div><div><br>However, you can patch a couple of files to make this work. It's not difficult, but it may take a bit of time. This is how I would go about it:</div>
<div><br></div><div>* remotes/datastore/lvm/stat:</div><div>If $SRC can be split into two fields, separated by ':' , and the second field starts with "/dev/" => then we can assume it's a LVM volumen located in the host determined by the first field. Use lvs to return the size.</div>
<div><br></div><div>* remotes/datastore/lvm/cp:</div><div>Perform the same check to find out if $SRC is a block device. In that case, add a new section where you dump the block device to the target LVM:</div>
<div><div>ssh_exec_and_log "$DST_HOST" "$SUDO $DD if=$SRC of=$DEV bs=64k" \</div><div> "Error dumping $SRC to $DST_HOST:$DEV"</div></div><div><br></div><div>I haven't tested this, so there will be typos and maybe I've missed out on something, but in principle it's easily achievable.</div>

I've been looking around, and I can't find out how to do this. Is this<br>
