Hi all,
I'm trying to migrate a local physical Windows machine to Proxmox using StarWind V2V Converter. The physical disk is 500 GB in size, but only about 80 GB is actually used.
The destination Proxmox node has only 300 GB free space, so in theory, this should be enough – especially since I selected the QCOW2 format during conversion.
However, the conversion keeps failing with an error in the log saying there's not enough space available.
It seems like StarWind is trying to allocate the full 500 GB size of the source disk, rather than just the used space. Is there any way to force StarWind to only convert the used portion of the disk, or to manually define the size of the target virtual disk?
Any help or workaround would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
