Would it be enough if `qm importdisk` would accept stdin as source as lon= g as the image size explicitly passed as a paramter? As that'd seem reasonable and help with other import issues too as one could just pipe the data over ssh from the source server directly into importdisk, no intermediate required. > Can someone tell me how to do that or , even better, make a PR ? >=20 If above is OK then adding special handling to use stdin for when $source= equals "-" and adding a new "size" parameter, which is in general optiona= l but required for the "-" case. That change should be limited to editing the CLI definition[0] and the method doing the actual import[1]. cheers, Thomas [0]: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=3Dqemu-server.git;a=3Dblob;f=3DPVE/CLI/qm= =2Epm;h=3D1aa273f39a373594eea0c1dc866e6b245d97e99e;hb=3DHEAD#l443 [1]: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=3Dqemu-server.git;a=3Dblob;f=3DPVE/QemuSe= rver/ImportDisk.pm;h=3D51ad52eab43ebad24a104de116dc5eea88587c7a;hb=3DHEAD=
