lacking a way to restart the operation if it fails midstream, so libvirt
only allows the operation if you are willing to temporarily make your
guest transient.
What does this mean? Will I loose anything if - for example - there is
not enough space on the target device? Or it will still use the original
disk image?
AFAIK, a transient guest only means it will disappear after the
virtualisation session ends.
virsh dumpxml $dom > file
virsh undefine $dom
virsh blockcopy $dom /ssd/image.raw /hdd/image.raw \
--wait --verbose --pivot
virsh define file
I could not find anything about "pivot" or "pivoting"? What does
--pivot
do in this case?
Thank you.
