Monolithic flat disk image available

[tigerten]

I have created a monoflat disk image files for the virtual ReadyNAS OS 6.6.0. This can be deployed within ESXi . I believe it should work with proxmox as well.

Let me know if there is an interest so i can host it somewhere.

Cool! How did you do it?

[tigerten]

I used command: 

vmkfstools -i ReadyNASOS.vmdk ReadyNASOS_thick.vmdk -d zeroedthick

and it works well.

Did you first convert Netgears IMG-file to VMDK?

Or where does the VMDK file come from? I am not familiar with vmkfstools.

No. I don’t think you can convert that IMG file. There is an older VM image 6.6.0 online. It upgrades to 6.10.8 automatically.

If someone can find a way to convert that IMG. It would be awesome

Thanks for clarifying.

Interesting that the Netgear vmdk-file needs some massage to work with other platforms.
