virt-convert uses qemu-img (or kvm-img) to convert disk images. Converting VMDK and sparse VMDK files works fine, but multi-file VMDKs are currently not supported by qemu-img.
You can find the following comment related to the qemu_convert() function in /usr/share/pyshared/virtconv/diskcfg.py: "Use qemu-img to convert the given disk. Note that at least some version of qemu-img cannot handle multi-file VMDKs, so this can easily go wrong. Gentoo, Debian, and Ubuntu (potentially others) install kvm-img with kvm and qemu-img with qemu. Both would work." You can convert a multi-file VMDK into a monolithic VMDK using the following command line: vmware-vdiskmanager -r source.vmdk -t 0 destination.vmdk -- Laurent Léonard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
