Hi. I can not create a VM in proxmox...I get all the time this message when trying to create a Hard drive: lvcreate 'pve/vm-100-disk-0' error: Aborting. Could not deactivate thin pool pve/data. at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Qemu.pm line 1314. (500) Any idea of what this could be ?

Please try that and, if you can prove qemu-img leaks data to the outside world, please share the results. -- Ottavio Caruso

Interesting General Dynamics would be using QEMU for mission-critical systems. But then again, why not? Supratim
Re: QEMU-img convert question
Thank you for taking the time to review my query. I will try to elaborate. What do I mean by "Does the application work as a completely standalone application?" - Does the application at any time reach out to the internet for any reason during execution? - Does it share any meta-data, retrieve updated instructions, or anything else? - Basically, if I put a packet sniffer between my computer and the internet, would the packet sniffer find even one packet that was sent or received as a result of executing the listed command?

QEMU-img convert question
Does running the following command transfer any data to any cloud or external service provider: $ qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 image.img image.qcow2 Does this application work as a completely standalone application? Thank you, Jay
