converting from raw to qcow2

[raj]

HiTeam,

I have a windows 2008 vm with 60 GB as raw disk. Now i converted that dist to qcow2 and the physical size is 55GB. When I create the new disk to qcow2 format should i create it as 60 gb or 55gb.

What I am doing is convert the disk from raw to qcow2 then remove the raw one and create a new disk as qcow2 on the gui. Then go at the location of the disk and delete the one thats just been created and rename the converted qcow2 file to the new name.

Please let me know if the new disk being created need to be the same size of the raw file or the size of the convereted file.

Regards,

Raj

It doesn't matter what size you create in the interface. You can copy your converted file over the created one.
