Hello there :) As stated in the title, I am trying to migrate linux systems that I have to a virtual environment. I tried Vmware's tools such as converter standalone but that proved troublesome since the space requirements were sub-optimal. I discussed the issue before in this thread.
I will be using rsync
to migrate the files, including the operating system. The source pc has this partitions.
I just want the system to boot and to work, I don't really care how, as for space needed on the destination systems, that doesn't matter either, I just need them to work :)
As far as my issue here is, I have created a VMware image and I booted into a tool that would permit me to create the partitions, but honestly, I don't know how. I am still learning linux and the use of the command line so I might be stuck on something stupid. As the good man in the thread I linked to mentioned, I don't need LVM, but I don't honestly know what I need :)
So if at all possible, I want to know how to do this and if anything's not clear (I tend to talk a lot and make less sense, so apologies for that), then by all means ask and hopefully you guys can help.
Regards
