Hello,
Is anyone using BlobPorter to move page blobs to block blobs? I have read the docs and I think this seems to be correct but all I get is no matching files.
My source container is: https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/test - this contains a mix of 7 page and block blobs
My target container is https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/test2
I want to move/convert all blobs from src to trg and convert the page blobs to block blobs.
The command I'm running is
C:\Program Files\BlobPorter>BlobPorter.exe -f "https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/test/*.*" -c test2 -g 8 -t file-blockblob
Tried with and without the . at the end, same result
> 2020/07/03 18:46:04 the pattern https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/test/*.* did not match any files
Tag not monitored by Microsoft.

Ok this works now after changing to blob-blockblob as you suggested.
BlobPorter.exe -f "https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/test" -c test2 -t blob-blockblob
Thanks for your help

@DaveGray-0128 Apologies for the delayed response. I believe having a mix of page and block blobs could be the issue here. Are you able to run it on a single page blob? BlobPorter also has examples available here. I recommend reaching out to the maintainers here to get your questions answered.

Sure I can try this with just page blobs as they are the ones which are a huge headache.
I did look at the GitHub page but I cannot seem to find a complete example in the ones listed and
obvious way to contact them short of leaving a bug report.
I will try with just page blobs now and post back the result.
Thanks
No luck :-(
Just page blobs in the container and I have tried the following patterns:
BlobPorter.exe -f "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/test" -c test2 -g 8 -t file-pageblob
BlobPorter.exe -f "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/test/" -c test2 -g 8 -t file-pageblob
BlobPorter.exe -f "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/test/*.*" -c test2 -g 8 -t file-pageblob
Sorry you are still having issues. You are trying to convert from page blob to block blob correct? If so I believe -t should be "blob-blockblob". I recommend creating an issue on GitHub page, it is not clear if you can use wildcards when using the URI. If that is not supported you might need to create a for loop to accomplish this.
