Hi! I need to convert a KVM virtual machine from LVM to a qcow2 image, and wonder if this is the best way to do it (*1): [$] qemu-img convert -O qcow2 /dev/vg_name/lv_name/ /var/lib/libvirt/images/image_name.qcow2 If this is the best way to do this, will this keep the information on: /dev/vg_name/lv_name/ untouched? Thanks, and please point me towards another mailing list if this it not right
