Those of us who have vmdk images bestowed upon us and would prefer to run them under qemu would very like to have a way to convert the images in both directions.

These are always created as "ide" disks; that is, the paramter ddb.adapterType is set to "ide" in the .vmdk file. I needed to create a scsi style vmdk image, in which ddb.adapterType is set to "lsilogic". The attached patch (against qemu-0.12.3) allows me to convert a raw image into a scsi vmdk image: qemu-img convert -O vmdk -o scsi rootfs.raw rootfs.vmdk The "scsi" option works also for the "create" command. I hope very much that this change can be rolled into qemu. best, Seb James To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/545089/+subscriptions
