  • [6.5.3] vmdk support

      • Minor

    Theoretically (based on reference below), unRAID can support vmdk but mine doesn't work

    • Directly edit in template -> disk not showing up
    • Convert using qemu-img leads to an all-blank raw img file so naturally doesn't work

     

    When I use the latest qemu-img for Windows, it converts the vmdk to raw correctly (in fact already using it) so I suspect probably old version is used by unRAID.

    I have been able to run .vmdk, tested on 6.5.x earlier this year, from memory I needed to manually add the path+filename for the same reasons you have mentioned.  

    Adding .vmdk to the file filter would be a nice addition.

     

    I have also been able to convert from .vmdk to .img (for ease of management), did this only a few weeks ago on 6.5.3

    This was the command I used: 

    qemu-img convert -p -f vmdk -O raw "Windows Server 2008 R2.vmdk" ws2008.img
