I don't know what libvirt format is, but to get a raw file if it's Linux: vmware-vdiskmanager -r <source.vmdk> -t 2 <dest.raw> At least I think that should work... That might still be a vmdk file, but it should work with qemu-img. You might try -t 0 if you are short on space. > > > Thanks for any hints. > > > Bernd > > -- > Bernd Lentes > > Systemadministration > Institut für Entwicklungsgenetik > Gebäude 35.34 - Raum 208 > HelmholtzZentrum münchen > bernd.lentes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > phone: +49 89 3187 1241 > fax: +49 89 3187 3826 > http://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/idg > > Wir sollten nicht den Tod fürchten, sondern > das schlechte Leben > > Helmholtz Zentrum München > Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Gesundheit und Umwelt (GmbH) > Ingolstädter Landstr. 1 > 85764 Neuherberg > www.helmholtz-muenchen.de > Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende: MinDir´in Bärbel Brumme-Bothe > Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Günther Wess und Dr. Nikolaus Blum > Registergericht: Amtsgericht München HRB 6466 > USt-IdNr: DE 129521671 > -- > 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 -- 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
