    Abstract: In some examples, a system converts a virtual volume from a first volume type to a second volume type without modifying the virtual volume, the converting comprising accessing a source metadata associated with the virtual volume, the source metadata including information for the first volume type, and generating a destination metadata associated with the virtual volume, the destination metadata including information for the second volume type. While the virtual volume is being converted from the first volume type to the second volume type, the system processes a write operation that accesses a portion of the virtual volume and changes data in the accessed portion of the virtual volume.
