Re: P2V Fedora Linux Box with a software raid disk

I have an ubuntu deployment that uses software RAID across the entire system as you've described, except it doesn't have LVM on top of that. There also is no separate /boot partition - just "/".

I'd love to hear if you were ever able to find a good repeatable process for getting converter to work with this kind of a scenario.

I've been racking my brain for a number of weeks now trying to come up with a good process for either:

  • Breaking my existing software raid in such a way that then VMWare Converter will be able to see it and create the image from it.
  • Adding a /boot partition to an external USB thumbdrive as you've described that will allow Converter to see the installation and image it. I'm not a grub guru at all, but I have gone through a good amount of dedoimedo's excellent tutorial. There's still just a lot of it that is fuzzy in my head, such that I'm unsure how to do it.

 

Any thoughts rcrcrc?
