I'm trying to convert a physical Windows XP machine into a KVM guest. All the guides so far mentions using dd to create a flat image file, then using qemu-img to convert that to qcow2. Since I've been making mistake here and there, retrying the process several times (initially converting each logical partition into an image), the question struck me: is there any reason why I cannot do something like this qemu-img convert -f /dev/sdc -O qcow2 /images/winxp.qcow instead of having to do it in two passes which literally take hours each. -- 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
