Hi Jaime, Carlo
We have also tried this script but the dd command in our case fails
using these options "conv=notrunc oflag=seek_bytes", so finally we have
downloaded the latest qemu source code from github [1] and we have
compiled it. The new version is now patched and it works fine with VMKD3
images :-) and we don't need to install virtualbox package.
$ ./qemu-img -V
qemu-img version 1.7.92, Copyright (c) 2004-2008 Fabrice Bellard
usage: qemu-img command [command options]
QEMU disk image utility
The new compiled qemu-img binary is now available from our frontend to
convert our images and we don't need to change Jamie's code :-)

Cheers and thanks!

Carlo,
that's great! thank you very much. Avoiding installing VirtualBox in some
scenarios is a great win.
cheers,
Jaime

In alternative, this simple bash script converts from VMDK3 to VMDK2:

Oggetto: Re: [one-users] OpenNebula and OVA files support
Hi Jaime
Hi Alvaro,
yes, we are aware of that issue. While we wait for a newer qemu-img
version, you may want to use VirtualBox instead of qemu-img for this
task.
You would need to change this:
https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-appmarket/blob/master/src/worker/lib/appliance_file_converter.rb#L7
with VBoxManage scripts, something like: VBoxManage clonehd #{s} #{t}
--format VMDK
Thanks a lot for the tip! we will use VBoxManage command meanwhile..
Cheers
Alvaro
cheers,
Jaime

Dear all
We are playing around with OVA files, some of them have VMDK version 3
imges inside, when you include a OVA file with oneimage, ON untar the
file
and creates a directory into the datastore, the question is if it will
be
suported the VMDK image conversion in ON in the future. I see that it
exists a APP from appmarket to perform this action but It will be
included
into ON by default? We want to convert VMDK version 3 images to qcow or
raw
files to be used by KVM and this will help us to convert image files
automatically. unfortunately old qemu-img versions does not support VMDK
version 3 (in centos 6 as example).
Cheers and thanks!
Alvaro
