RE: [Xen-users] porting vmware's vmdk to domU

["Cole, Ray" <Ray_Cole@xxxxxxx>]

I think you might be able to use qemu-img to do this.  Do a search for 'qemu' 
and download it.  qemu-img is included as part of it and can supposively 
convert images.  I think it handles vmdk's but haven't actually used it myself 
to do the conversion.  I use qemu to install the base OS into a regular file 
and then use 'dd' to rip the individual partitions out of the resulting file to 
get by root disk image.

Subject: [Xen-users] porting vmware's vmdk to domU


Hi!

Is there any experience of converting vmware's vmdk file to a domU image? 
Maybe via extracting vmdk (how?) -> build tar -> untar in domU?

That would be very nice despite replacing the original kernel with a 
self-built one and worthy to write a script... :)

Cheers,
Sven.
