Hi,
But then the problem is, as I wrote in the other mail, that either I cannot remove the original volume as it's a "root" volume and leave just the copy behind.
right, I forgot about the not removable root volume. Your workaround seems valid though, copying the original volume to a new volume, launch a new instance from the new volume and remove the old one. But did you also try to set --image-property (not --property as you wrote before) to the fresh volume? Zitat von Christoph Anton Mitterer <calestyo@scientia.org>:
Hey Eugen.
Basically, it's about flattening images. For example, there are multiple VMs based on the same image which are copy-on-write clones. We back up the most important VMs with 'rbd export' so they become "flat" in the backup store.
Well that's effectively what I did, when I copied to a bare volume and tried booting from that.
But then the problem is, as I wrote in the other mail, that either I cannot remove the original volume as it's a "root" volume and leave just the copy behind. Or, if I create a fresh server, I cannot make it boot with UEFI, for unknown reasons.
Thanks, Chris.
