RE: [Xen-users] Can you convert Windows LVM domU to sparse img file?

[James Pifer <jep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was able to do it using ïMÄris' suggestion using:
ïdd if=/dev/vg/winpart of=/home/myuser/winimage.img bs=4096

I made sure the system was shut down cleanly and successfully before
doing it. Once it was done I used 'cp -v --sparse=always...' and copied
it to another file. 

Using 'du -s -B1 filename' I confirmed the file size. 

I recreated the machine in virtmanager and it booted up and seems to be
good. 

Thanks for the suggestions. 

James
