如何为virtualbox或vmplayer将平面原始磁盘映像转换为vmdk?

首先,安装QEMU。在基于Debian的发行版(如Ubuntu)上,运行:

$ apt-get install qemu

然后运行以下命令:

$ qemu-img convert -O vmdk imagefile.dd vmdkname.vmdk

我假设一个平面磁盘映像是一个 dd -风格形象。convert操作还处理许多其他格式。

有关 qemu-img 命令,请参见

$ qemu-img -h

VBoxManage convertfromraw imagefile.dd vmdkname.vmdk --format VMDK

在没有参数的情况下运行它,以获得一些有趣的细节(尤其是 --variant 旗帜):

VBoxManage convertfromraw

因此,为了创建一个附加的vmdk图元文件,它引用原始dd图像。

对

首先,以通常的方式使用dd创建图像:

dd bs=512 count=60000 if=/dev/zero of=usbdrv.img

然后,您可以为VirtualBox创建一个引用此图像的文件:

VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "usbdrv.vmdk" -rawdisk "usbdrv.img"

您可以按原样在VirtualBox中使用此映像,但根据来宾操作系统的不同,它可能不会立即可见。例如,我在一个Windows来宾操作系统上尝试使用此方法,我必须执行以下操作才能给它一个驱动器号:

• 转到控制面板。
• 去计算机管理。
• 转到左侧面板中的存储\磁盘管理。
• 您将在这里看到您的磁盘。在上面创建一个分区并格式化它。小卷使用FAT,大卷使用FAT32或NTFS。

sfdisk -d usbdrv.img

答复:

label: dos
label-id: 0xd367a714
device: usbdrv.img
unit: sectors

usbdrv.img1 : start=          63, size=       48132, type=4

注意分区的起始位置:63。在下面的命令中,我使用了loop4,因为它是我的案例中第一个可用的循环设备。

sudo losetup -o $((63*512)) loop4 usbdrv.img
mkdir usbdrv
sudo mount /dev/loop4 usbdrv
ls usbdrv -l

在windows上,使用 https://github.com/Zapotek/raw2vmdk 将dd或winhex创建的原始文件转换为vmdk。raw2vmdk v0.1.3.2有一个错误-创建vmdk文件后,编辑vmdk文件并修复原始文件的路径(在我的情况下,不是D:\Temp\flash_16gb.raw(由winhex创建),生成的路径是D:Tempflash_16gb.raw)。然后,在vmware虚拟机版本6.5-7中打开它(5.1拒绝连接vmdk硬盘)。你好!

也许你应该尝试使用星风V2V转换器,你可以从这里得到它- http://www.starwindsoftware.com/converter . 它还支持IMG磁盘格式,并在IMG、VMDK或VHD之间执行扇区到扇区的转换,而无需对源映像进行任何更改。此工具是免费的:)

• 通过ssh从远程服务器获取dd转储(作为gz文件)
• 将其转换为vmware

在my environment 2 x Ubuntu 12.04 LTS中,采取了以下步骤:

• 3小时可获得60 GB分区的47 GB磁盘转储
• 20分钟解包到一个60 GByte dd文件

https://sourceforge.net/projects/dd2vmdk/ 也dd2vmdk是一个基于*nix的程序,允许您通过拍摄原始映像、分析主引导记录(物理扇区0)并获取创建vmdk文件所需的特定信息来装载原始磁盘映像(由dd、dcfldd、dc3dd、ftk imager等创建)。

就个人而言,imo Qemu和Zapotek的raw2vmdk工具是将dd转换为VMDK的最佳总体选择。
