Attach the disk to a VM, then in the VMM, there should be an option to clone the disk image, which the next few steps will ask if you want to clone as a dynamic- or fixed- image.

Inside VirtualBox, I created a FreeBSD VM with no disks, and then attached the VHD image as a disk to this new VM. It wasn't working. However, I tried doing the same thing with the VMDK image, and that worked fine. If the new mkimg can create VHD files which import without problem into VirtualBox, that will be a huge improvement. -- Craig ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

There are a few issues with how qemu-img creates the VHD. The use of qemu-img will very soon be not required, thanks to marcel@ adding VHD support to mkimg(1). In the meantime, can you try cloning the VHD disk, but instead of a dynamically-allocated image, set it to be a fixed-size image? I have had very sporadic success with this, so cannot guarantee it will work. The VMDK image, however, should work without issue, if you are unable to get the VHD image to work.

vhd file from snapshots: VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND
Hi, I downloaded FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-amd64-20140714-r268622.vhd.xz from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/VM-IMAGES/11.0-CURRENT/amd64/20140714/ Under MacOS X, I uncompressed the .vhd.xz file. I used VirtualBox, and created a VM. When I tried to attach the .vhd file to this VM, VirtualBox gave this error: VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND Any ideas? -- Craig ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
