bmdegraaf Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hi gridrunner, would the sata connection be properly detected if i were to passthrough a disk to an OSX VM? Currently it sees the vdisk as a sata 1 connection? Quote Link to comment

audias Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Hi, i follow the video to convert my nvme windows10 boot ssd to vdisk with this command qemu-img convert -p -O raw /dev/nvme0n1 "/mnt/user/domains/Windows 10 ssd/cVdisk.img" when i mount the vdisk to VM, <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Windows 10 ssd/cVdisk.img'/> <target dev='hdd' bus='sata'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='3'/> </disk> and boot it, it shows the windows loading screen but it just looped and enter the windows recovery, failed to boot. is there any extra step or different step for converting nvme ssd to vdisk? Thanks btw. Edited July 5, 2020 by audias Quote Link to comment
