Comment on fstab, boot, mount and STP: a big challenge to solve by Why fstab doesn't mount smbfs

[...] I spent a long time to find the problem: STP – Spanning Tree Protocol. When a host is attached such as a computer, printer or server the switch port will always go into the forwarding state, albeit after a delay of about 30 seconds while it goes through the listening and learning states. Full story: fstab mount error at boot. [...]

Comment on How-to convert an existing partition/disk in an image to virtualize it in linux qemu/kvm by dmc

Giulio, thanks again, this time for the follow up. I was able to handle the raw image as you explained. The root cause of my problem lay with dd, in my misunderstanding of block sizes (in my cases, there was no need to pass the bs or ibs/obs parameters). Fortunately the relevant disk partitions of the VM are all in one device, so I did not have to cope with the situation you mentioned.

So far so good! It’s a small step that boosts my confidence and my appreciation for qemu.

Hi Dennis,
if you have a raw image you can copy it on your disk with dd.
If your image is not raw you need to convert it before: kvm-img it’s a good tool to convert vm images.
To copy your image you need to attach your disk and find its device file (look on output of dmesg after disk attach).
Be sure that you find the _right_ device file for you destination disk: if you use another device (for example another disk) you will lose all data that it contains.
Also be sure to use the disk device (ex. /dev/sda) and not a partition device (ex. /dev/sda1).
Finally you can copy your raw data on disk by dd if=my-vm-image-file.raw of=/dev/my-disk-device.
After copy your system may not boot from hard-disk because of wrong partition description on boot loader: for example in your VM your virtual disk may be attached to the primary ide controller and so your bootloader (ex. grub/lilo) may point to hda(0,0) but your real disk may be attached to a secondary ide controller hda(1,0).
To fix these problems use the bootloader console (grub has it) or a live-cd distro to chrood on system. As example, you can fix grub configuration with update-grub.
Tell me if you need any help

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial.

I found my way to your post because I have a problem which is the reverse of what you’ve done: given a qemu raw image file, how do I transfer this to a disk? Essentially I need to copy a bootable VM image to a desktop disk, let’s say, and start up the desktop.

Any ideas? Thanks.
