Sure this will expand the fi= =3D le to the full size, but why do you need raw image? ovirt works with qcow i= =3D mages.

oVirt will not allow me to have more than 3 = =3D IDE devices on a VM

W= =3D hat do you mean by "it does not seem to work using the virtio-scsi selection."?

Doesnt 3.6 only work on RHEL/Centos 7?

And Fedora 21/22.

How do you convert to ovirt format?

= =3D

OS Disk
mail.qcow2 (74M) converts to main= =3D .img (294M)

Storage disks
250.qcow2 (256K) converts to 250.img (250GB)
1= =3D 024.qcow2 (256K) converts to 1024.img (1TB)
2048.qcow2 (256K)= =3D converts to 2048.img (2TB)
4096.qvow2 (256K) converts to 409= =3D 6.img (4TB)
8192.qcow2 (256K) converts to 8192.img (8TB)

The second problem= =3D is that these disks are scsi and ti does not seem to work using the virtio= =3D -scsi selection. I tried selecting the IDE option, but there is a limit to = =3D the number of IDE disks that I can use.

Can you provide more details about "does not seem= =3D to work"?

Virtualbox has no issues running the appliance that was distribute= =3D d in the ova format. Any help would be appreciated

ovirt-3.6 beta supports import from ov= =3D a format; maybe you like to try it?
