**VIDEO GUIDE How to Passthrough Harddrives, Convert Disks and test Vdisk speed


Recommended Posts

Hi I have made a guide  about disks and vdisks in unRAID VMS. How to pass through physical disks to VMS. How to convert a vdisk to a physical disk. How to convert a physical machine to a VM. It also talks about performance testing disks in VMs.

Hope you like it!!

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.
