Greetings,

I'm not sure who to turn to about this; hopefully I'm posting in the correct 
place.

Just for some background info, exporting from Ganeti to Proxmox. One server is 
using a really old version of Ganeti (2.2) (server cannot be updated at the 
moment). I do have some servers that are using a somewhat newer version of 
Ganeti (2.10).

With the servers running a newer versions of Ganeti, using gnt-backup export, I 
can simply import the .snap file it generates into proxmox and it works just 
fine (no problem here).

The problem is the old server running the older version of Ganeti, gnt-backup 
compresses the images (at least this is what I think is what's happening, based 
on the config.ini file it generates when doing a gnt-backup export). My first 
inclination as the config.ini file claims that was using gzip compression, was 
to gunzip it; however that doesn't work (states not a gzip file) unless I'm 
doing it wrong.

When I import the .snap file as is, into proxmox, it states that there is no 
bootable device.

When I do a "qemu-img info" on the file that the older version of ganeti 
generates, it outputs as:

image: d7f9810e-c162-4cca-bc48-27d6d870c1c0.disk0_data.snap
file format: raw
virtual size: 3.1G (3285575680 bytes)
disk size: 3.1G

The virtual disk itself should be roughly 7GB in size with roughly 3GB being 
used.

Is there anyway to expand this file/ maybe use qemu-img to convert with this 
image (not sure)?

I'm trying to avoid doing a chain conversion (export from old ganeti and import 
new version of ganeti and then export again), and I cannot update the old 
system.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
