Those of us who have vmdk images bestowed upon us and would prefer to
run them under qemu would very like to have a way to convert the images
in both directions.

Title:
qemu-img should be able to create scsi based vmdk images
Status in QEMU:
Confirmed
Bug description:
qemu-img can create vmdk disk images. These are always created as
"ide" disks; that is, the paramter ddb.adapterType is set to "ide" in
the .vmdk file.
I needed to create a scsi style vmdk image, in which ddb.adapterType
is set to "lsilogic".
The attached patch (against qemu-0.12.3) allows me to convert a raw
image into a scsi vmdk image:
qemu-img convert -O vmdk -o scsi rootfs.raw rootfs.vmdk
The "scsi" option works also for the "create" command.
I hope very much that this change can be rolled into qemu.
best,
Seb James
