Following steps involve moving some KVM VMs from file storage to block storage.
This is basically converting the .qcow2 files to LVM LVs. It was surprisingly simple.
1. qemu-img convert disk0.qcow2 -O raw disk0.raw
2. ls -l
-rw-r–r– 1 user user 44023414784 2011-03-27 09:09 disk.raw
3. lvcreate -L 44023414784b -n lv_disk vgroup
4. dd if=disk.raw of=/dev/vgroup/lv_disk
dd if=/dev/vmlv/vm4992 of=/dev/vmlv/vm4992-new
qemu-img convert /dev/vmlv/vm4992 -O raw /dev/vmlv/vm4992
