I can't remember why I didn't use this when I last did P2V on a FreeBSD box, but I ended up just creating a VM with a new vmdk of the correct size and then using dd over nc to copy the disk from the physical machine, which worked fine too. An important gotcha is if the host is IDE but you create your VM with SCSI disks (e.g. for ESX) and the disk devices change name :) /JMS _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
