KVM to LXC

[Norman Uittenbogaart]

Is there a easy way to move a linux VM to LXC?
Can I just mount the raw file and boot with LXC?

You can follow the Wiki article for this, which we did for MANY machines and were successful:

Might also want to check out my post asking this same question and the followup I posted with the few "gotchas" we ran into:

Hi thanks for your message, but the wiki doesn't explain how to use a KVM raw file and boot it in LXC?
To be clear, I'm not looking to move from OpenVZ to LXC.
But from KVM to LXC.

Sorry about that, should have noticed this. It is not possible that I am aware of to do what you are looking to do. You should be able to convert this from KVM to container though, but will require more effort and of course needs to be a supported LXC container OS. In the past we have used these two articles which while for OpenVZ will certainly translate to the steps that are needed to get this done:

Hope this helps.
