Any trouble by using DD's for V2P (Virtualbox)?
Posted: 2017-11-26 01:18
Someone recommend me Installing a virtual, and then moving to physicall with DD.
I did it , and it worked, I was wondering if it can come up or give into any trouble eventually with using just a "dd" comand as a method V2P.
I followed theses steps with success to get a V2P in virtualbox:
0 - Install System in a Virtualbox
1- Make available the virtual system disk in linux devices.
2- Move virtual system to physical.
3- Made system bootable
It worked very well my V2P test
