Mount /dev/mapper/$(basename $loopdev)p1 turnkey-core.mountД®xtract root filesystem and tweak for ISO configuration # p1 refers to the first partition (rootfs) Loopdev=$(losetup -s -f turnkey-core.raw) You will need kpartx to setup the mappings. You'll need to setup the loop device, partition mappings and finally mount the rootfs partition.

GOTCHA 1: If your VM has partitions, it's a little tricker. Mount -o loop turnkey-core.raw turnkey-core.mount Next, mount the raw disk as a loopback device. Qemu-img convert -f vmdk turnkey-core.vmdk -O raw turnkey-core.raw If you are using a different virtualization platform such as Virtualbox, see this post on converting a VDI to a raw image.

I'll show how to convert a VMWare VMDK image into raw disk format. If you are not using a TurnKey installation, see the TKLPatch installation notes. I suppose that's a good enough reason, so lets get to it.Д¬onvert VM disk to raw image and mount itДЇirst we need to get qemu-img, a tool bundled with qemu (KVM's virtualization backend) to convert the VM disk to a raw image, and TKLPatch, the TurnKey customization mechanism to package the ISO. Good question, the answer for Conor Fox (who was the inspiration for this post - thanks Conor!) was to distribute his customized TurnKey PostgreSQL image so others could use it.Дistributing an ISO as opposed to a VM image allows it to be installed on any virtualization platform, as well as on bare metal, with the added bonus of running live. Why would anyone in their right mind want to convert a VM into an ISO?
