Virtual disk to disk image issue
Posted: 30. Nov 2018, 17:29
Hello,
My goal is to convert my current virtual machine into a disk image so that I can use this on a physical machine.
I can convert the virtual disk file into a raw image disk file using the VboxManage command: VBoxManage clonehd fullpath/myvm.vdi myvm.img --format raw. However, this causes a issue where the raw image disk file ends up being over 100GB (Because the vm machine has a disk capacity set to 100GB).
Is there a way to compress this image file or convert it so that the end result of the raw image is not so large?
