Hi,
The attached patch adds a new option '-rawdiskimage' to the createrawvmdk
command. With this option, raw disk images can be used directly without
loopback devices. I think this is useful for users who wants to run the same
disk images on different virtual machine software. I tested on Ubuntu Linux,
but I hope this simple patch works on other environments too.
I wonder why it needs to be so complicated... it can be determined
automatically if the user is pointing to a regular file.
Pointing to a raw image is technically duplicating the functionality of
"fixed" VMDK images, but I can see the value if your idea.
