Hi, Is there a way to run a guest VM directly from a raw disk image? I need to switch my guest VM between QEMU and VirtualBox quite frequent, so it will be time consuming if I have to convert between VDI and RAW format every time I do a switch.
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk The document listed above is very close to what I am looking for. However, the command check if the argument of -rawdisk option is actually a block device. So I cannot use a raw disk image file. Although, I might be able to use a loop mount device to solve this issue. However, I don't have root or mount permission on my machine so I cannot use this solution. Any suggestion? PS. I am using VirtualBox 3.1.6 -- Thawan Kooburat Graduate Student Department of Computer Science UW-Madison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
