| Description |
Trying to create a raw disk from my Windows XP partition to work on a Linux Guest OS and following the instructions posted on the forum from people that succeed doing the same thing I am trying (http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=25200), after solving some pre-req issues, I end up with this error that people told me to open a new ticket here: First, some info about the environment: Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 user@machine:~$ uname -a Linux machine 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux user@machine:~$ VBoxManage --version 1.6.2r31466 user@machine:~$ fdisk -l /dev/sda Disco /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80032038912 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9730 cylinders Units = cilindros of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xcccdcccd Dispositivo Boot Início Fim Blocos Id Sistema /dev/sda1 1 3040 24418768+ 7 HPFS ou NTFS /dev/sda2 3041 4864 14651280 83 Linux /dev/sda3 * 4865 6823 15735667+ bf Solaris /dev/sda4 6824 9730 23350477+ 5 Estendida /dev/sda5 6824 9208 19157449+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 9209 9730 4192965 82 Linux swap / Solaris user@machine:~$ VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk /dev/sda VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.6.2 (C) 2005-2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

| #17236 | fixed | createrawvmdk core dump => Fixed in SVN | ||
| Description |
Hi Guru's, I get createrawvmdk core dump. This is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, virtualbox 5.2.0 The recipe is RT$ dd if=/dev/zero of=yo.raw bs=1 seek=1073741824 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1 byte copied, 0.000121448 s, 8.2 kB/s RT$ vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename yo.vmdk -rawdisk yo.raw Memory fault(coredump) It took me a little while to discover I kinda goofed on the sparse file creation, my intent was to create a 1 Gb file, while I created here a 1Gb +1 byte sparse file. A nice error message would be cool. The workaround is to create the the sparse file correctly RT$ dd if=/dev/zero of=yo.raw bs=1 seek=1073741823 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1 byte copied, 0.000102826 s, 9.7 kB/s RT$ vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename yo.vmdk -rawdisk yo.raw RAW host disk access VMDK file yo.vmdk created successfully. I flag this as 'low prio' as there is a work around. Cheers, Phi |
