Got this question at work a lot. Thought I’d finally get around to putting it down since it’s came up for me. I’ve got a virtual machine using virtio passthrough for my pcie, and I found actually that disk access via the qcow2 is pretty naff.<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm\r\n\r\nqemu-img convert windows10cloudimage.qcow2 -O raw diskimage.img\r\n\r\ndd if=\/path\/to\/windos10cloudimage.qcow2 of=\/dev\/sdc2<\/code><\/pre>\n
Please note in my case the physical partition I’d made was sdc2. I’d actually resized another 5TB disk I have in my system using gparted. Just so I can attach a physical partition with libvirtd. Evidently though libvirtd-manager doesn’t allow this business so I have to edit the xlm file in \/etc\/qemu\/windows10.xml .<\/p>\n

\r\nroot@adam:\/etc\/libvirt\/qemu# virsh  define \/etc\/libvirt\/qemu\/win10-uefi.xml \r\nDomain win10-uefi defined from \/etc\/libvirt\/qemu\/win10-uefi.xml\r\nroot@adam:\/etc\/libvirt\/qemu# virt-manager\r\n<\/pre>\n
yeah baby!<\/p>\n

\nYou could alternatively do it all in one like below, though you may desire a copy of the img file as well as putting it to the disk.<\/p>\n
