I'll do so, but I can only make the conversion early morning or late evening, so it won't happen before tomorrow. The reason why I'm on vmdk is that these were migrated from VMware server. The free VMware server isn't much fun anymore, and I just need "simple" virtualization, no big-iron enterprise BS compliance. ;-) Thanks, -martin -- Martin Schmitt / Schmitt Systemberatung / www.scsy.de --> http://www.pug.org/index.php/Benutzer:Martin <-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
