[vbox-dev] [PATCH] FreeBSD: Support files in VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:32:11 -0800 

Hi vbox developers!
Another patch to add support for files to VBoxManage createrawvmdk. Currently 
it only supports character devices so it failes like this:
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename test.vmdk -rawdisk /vbox/HardDisks/test.img VBoxManage: error: File '/vbox/HardDisks/test.img' is no character device 
VBoxManage: error: The raw disk vmdk file was not created
The following patch by Pawel Jakub Dawidek adds support for files on FreeBSD. It should be easy to do the same for Linux and Solaris but this patch only 
targets FreeBSD hosts.
