[ovirt-users] Importing An Ubuntu Disk

[Charles Tassell]

Hello,

   I was wondering if there is any way to import a disk image 
(qcow/qcow2) into an oVirt storage domain?  I've tried v2v but it won't 
work because the image customization parts of it won't deal with Ubuntu, 
and I tried import-to-ovirt.pl but the disks it creates seem to be 
broken in some way that prevents them from booting when attached to a VM.

   I've seen some references to creating a pre-allocated disk of the 
same size and then using dd to overwrite the contents of it, but is 
there a better method?  Or should I just import my existing VMs by 
booting off a system rescue CD and restoring backups over the network?
