The migration of storage using the qemu migration stream is not supported by qemu when -blockdev is used. Since we can only transport one stream when migrating with '-tunelled', it's no longer possible to combine those two. Unfortunately automagic block migration was deemed a legacy feature. > I understand that newer ways of migrating non shared disks is via NBD > directly with QEMU, however I am certain > that this used to work before libvirt 6.0.

NBD should be used nowadays. The old style storage migration was neglected for a very long time now.
