如何将flat raw磁盘映像转换为virtualbox或vmplayer的vmdk？
我有一些旧的Linux映像以平面文件格式分发，他们可以被bochs虚拟机使用，但是我需要使用Sun Virtual Box来运行它们。 Virtual Box不能使用这种格式的图像，所以我需要将这些图像从平面文件转换为.vmdk文件格式。 有没有办法做到这一点？
apt-get install qemu （在debian / ubuntu上安装QEMU）
然后运行以下命令： qemu-img convert -O vmdk imagefile.dd vmdkname.vmdk
我假设一个扁平磁盘映像是一个dd样式的映像。 转换操作也处理许多其他格式。
由于这个问题提到VirtualBox，目前这个工作：
VBoxManage convertfromraw imagefile.dd vmdkname.vmdk --format VMDK
运行它没有参数一些有趣的细节（值得注意的是 – – --variant标志）：
VBoxManage convertfromraw
在Windows上，使用https://github.com/Zapotek/raw2vmdk将由dd或winhex创build的原始文件转换为vmdk。; raw2vmdk v0.1.3.2有一个bug – 一旦vmdk文件被创build，编辑vmdk文件并修复原始文件的path（在我的情况下，而不是D：\ Temp \ flash_16gb.raw（由winhex创build））生成path是D：Tempflash_16gb.raw）。 然后，在vmware虚拟机版本6.5-7（5.1拒绝附加vmdk硬盘）中打开它。 howgh！
也许你应该尝试使用Starwind V2V Converter，你可以从这里得到它 – http://www.starwindsoftware.com/converter 。 它还支持IMG磁盘格式，并在IMG，VMDK或VHD之间进行扇区间的转换，而无需对源映像进行任何更改。 这个工具是免费的:)
krosenvold的回答启发了以下脚本：
- 通过ssh从远程服务器获取dd转储（作为gz文件）
- 解压缩转储
- 将其转换为vmware
该脚本可重新启动并检查中间文件的存在。 它也使用pv和qemu-img -p来显示每一步的进度。
在我的环境中2 x Ubuntu 12.04 LTS的步骤是：
- 3小时才能获得60 GB的分区的47 GByte磁盘转储
- 20分钟解压缩到一个60 GB的dd文件
- 45分钟来创buildvmware文件
