Message-ID: <20260618125103.1784856-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)
We already print the same warning when importing. See f6039cedf for more

Tested:
On a LVM storage with savc enabled:
$ qm disk move 100 scsi0 $storage --format vmdk
which prints:
format 'vmdk' is not supported by the target storage - using 'qcow2' instead
