I'm not entirely sure if qemu-img handles split VMDK files, I would be surprised if that was the case. I also think the image is a sparse one go by the s in two of the VMDK's file name. You can all but try. better place to have asked maybe is the qemu malling list available on qemu.org have you (anyone?) tried running VMware Player under FreeBSD's linux emulation? > matthias > -- > Matthias Apitz > Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH > Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany > t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 > e - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ > b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ > Don't top-post, read RFC1855 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Regards, Kimi
