P2V ubuntu desktop to proxmox 3

[olibrigus]

Hi everyone,

When I search everywhere it seems it is easy to move an ubuntu desktop to a virtual machine on proxmox.

I have already used proxmox 2 for several VM but I have all the time created them from scratch. It is my first migration from physical to virtual.

I didn't find a tutorial somewhere. Do you have a link?

I try to copy my /dev/sda to my external hard disk like that : # dd if=/dev/sda out=./ubuntu.img
It seems the file is too big. I guess NTFS in not able to manage a 100 Go file.
I have maybe forget an argument ?

If I succeed to dd it, can I just restore the ".img" file ? I don't think so. Should I convert the file in qcow2 to restore it ?

A little help would be nice ! Thank you

btw. what version of ubuntu are you planing to run? I tried 13.04 but user experience is quite bad (to much graphical effects which slows down everything).
