VM disk file_format always gets set to "raw" about terraform-provider-proxmox HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey @1-cameron, thanks, I'm planning to re-work the VM disk provisioning to address #187, #188, and #203 -- they all are related to the same piece of code that is really hard to maintain. I'll add you use case to the test suite.

Thanks, I really appreciate the work you're doing on this provider!

Hey @1-cameron, would you be able create a qcow2 disk on this storage in the PVE UI?

From the docs https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_hard_disk:

The choice of a storage type will determine the format of the hard disk image. Storages which present block devices (LVM, ZFS, Ceph) will require the raw disk image format, whereas files based storages (Ext4, NFS, CIFS, GlusterFS) will let you to choose either the raw disk image format or the QEMU image format.

I'm able to create the disks manually in the UI in all formats on that storage with no issue.

However, I've just noticed that the disks I've been provisioning are actually larger than the space available on the storage. I've since provisioned disks with the expected file_format on larger storage (they're the same type).

Hey there,

I am having the same issue.
I even tried to set it to raw, but even then terraform apply plans to recreate the vm.

Hey @yuqo2450,

I even tried to set it to raw, but even then terraform apply plans to recreate the vm.

Changing the disk type in a previously applied template will cause re-creation of the disk (and the VM). Also please note that non-raw formats are only available for file based PVE storages.

Should be fixed by #241
