Public bug reported:
There is no reason why the vdmk image can't be converted. Even running
it as root does not help.
$ ls -lh
insgesamt 60G
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 479M 2011-09-10 17:47 freetz-linux-1.2.1-disk1.vmdk
$ sudo qemu-img convert freetz-linux-1.2.1-disk1.vmdk -O raw
/tmp/freetz-linux-1.2.1-disk1.raw
qemu-img: Could not open 'freetz-linux-1.2.1-disk1.vmdk': Operation not
permitted
qemu-img: Could not open 'freetz-linux-1.2.1-disk1.vmdk'
I get a similar Error when I try to rum vmdk images directly. After adding a
new machine and adding vmdk disks with virt-manager, it tells me when I start
the virtual machine:
Error starting domain: internal error process exited while connecting to
monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1
kvm: -drive
file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/freetz-linux-1.2.1-disk1.vmdk,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on,format=qcow2:
could not open disk image
/var/lib/libvirt/images/freetz-linux-1.2.1-disk1.vmdk: Invalid argument
Runnung raw images works perfectly for me.
Hint: i have a symlink set:
/var/lib/libvirt$ ls -lh
insgesamt 12K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K 2011-07-26 14:30 boot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-08-19 10:47 images -> /home/vms
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K 2011-08-19 09:38 network
drwxr-xr-x 5 libvirt-qemu kvm 4,0K 2011-12-16 04:34 qemu
but this should not be the reason hopefully
