Hi all,
I installed FreeNAS 11 and love the VM feature. I've managed to install many fresh Windows installs easily.
I am having an issue however importing in an existing VM. I exported a VirtualBox VM to a raw file and then read somewhere you should just be able to dd it in but that doesn't seem to have worked. Can I check?
My process was:
1. Export VM from VirtualBox - "VBoxManage clonehd "drive.vdi" drive.raw --format RAW
2. Create the zvol as a size slightly bigger than the raw file through the FreeNAS GUI (don't force size, not sparse, block size: 16K default)
3. dd if=drive.raw of=/dev/zvol/volume2/zvol
3. Attach the zvol as a UEFI device to the VM
4. Boot
However it doesn't seem to find the drive at all.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or a good faq you could point me to?
Thanks - C
