Re: [Qemu-discuss] Problem converting from vmdk to raw format

[Alexandre Schenberg]

thanks, was a permission problem, to change it solved the issue
 I have another doubt, converting it to raw generate a 126.9GB file.
 However df shows that the space used in the partition is only 8.x GB.
 And now I am converting the raw file to an iso file and the iso is
 really occupying space.
 So why the space occupied by the raw file seems to do not exists and
 the one from Iso does?
 And why the Iso is becaming so big?

 Thanks for the aid.
