Hi all,
I've been trying to convert a raw disk partition from my laptop for use
on VMWare player and I'm seeing the following error from qemu-img git
master during conversion:
# qemu-img convert -f raw -O vmdk /dev/mapper/vm-raw out.vmdk
qemu-img: error while writing sector 4247552: Invalid argument
A quick glance at the resulting output file makes me thing that an
artificial 2GB limit has accidentally been introduced:
# ls -l | grep out.vmdk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2147483648 Sep 12 09:49 out.vmdk
Can anyone else reproduce this? The input /dev/mapper/vm-raw is simply a
raw 4GB LVM partition on my local disk which is mapped through as a
standard hard disk into QEMU.
Many thanks,
Mark.
