Hi there,

I've found some documentation on how to convert Xen virtual machines to virtualbox but these make some assumptions which are not universally valid.

The problem I have is that, instead of using the 'container' based virtual machines (ie a file which contains a partition table and partitions for a number of disks) we use filesystem based virtual machines.

In these VMs the root filesystem of the virtual machine under Xen is a logical volume under LVM and the VMs filesystem can be directly mounted on the host (while the VM isn't running, of course).

Also a lot of the documentation uses VMWare converter. Thats not going to work out as it appears to be a Windows-only application.

I've got a tarball of one of these root filesystems and I'd quite like to get it running under virtualbox.

Any ideas please?

Thanks.
