Subject: Re: Converting from VMDK to RAW
I'm going to ass
I'm going to assume you have virtual box where VBoxManage is a tool that you
can use to convert to raw. If not qemu-img convert can also do the same and is
available via ports.
Either way you should be able to get a raw image out of either.

Colleagues,

is the best way to convert virtual disks from the VMDK to the RAW
format (which I think is the format bhyve uses)?
