ok great - installing qemu-devel on my system and running the following command worked great: qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw foo.vmdk foo.img i tested this by taking a current .vmdk file from my workstation i do development and copied it over to my new bhyve hypervisor. this may be a good candidate for addition to wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve - i'll go ahead and add this if no one objects. > Ideally bhyve would be able to read/write VM file formats directly, > perhaps with some sort of filter on top of the existing file backend > code. There's plenty of GPL code around for this, but bhyve requires > code with a BSD license. > thanks for the info on that - i unfortunately that is beyond my bandwidth/techinical capabilities at this point. i'd love to help test code out to do this once that day comes.
