I really feel dumb. I have been unable to find any relevant info. Pretty please, send me a URL where I can find instructions to clone a whole partition (ext3) into a virtual disk. I currently have a "real" server I would like to convert to a virtual server on another machine. Should I physically move the hard drive to the Host machine? Can I clone it over the net? What should I do to clone it into a .vdk (possibly after relocating it to the new Host)?
