vidma's Introduction

vidma - Virtual Disks Manipulator

vidma is a utility for manipulating virtual disk images. It can show basic information about the image or resize it. Resizing is done by in-place modification of a file holding the image or by creating modified copy of such file.

Supported formats

  • VDI - Virtual Disk Image
    Format introduced by VirtualBox and mostly used by VirtualBox. It has a few variants, but only two types, fixed and dynamic, are handled by vidma.

Requirements

  • little-endian machine, e.g. x86, x86-64
  • Windows or POSIX OS, e.g. BSD, Linux, Mac OS X

Bugs

If you find any bug, then please create a new issue in the project's GitHub page and describe the problem there, unless someone already did it before you.

Remember to provide following information:

  • What system do you have?
    (uname -a, lsb_release -drc)
  • What compiler do you use? (if you have built vidma manually)
    (cc -v)
  • What vidma version are you using?
    (first line of vidma output)
  • What have you done?
    (run history and check the commands used to compile and run vidma)
  • If problem regards corrupted image, then paste information about the original image and the one after failed modification.
    (vidma original_image_file, vidma modified_image_file)

Development

Roadmap

Stages:

  • alpha (works for me?)
    • 0.0.x
    • 0.1.x
    • 0.2.x
  • beta (works for you?)
    • 0.3.x
    • 0.4.x
  • release candidate (works for everyone?)
    • 0.5.x
  • ready (just works!)

Hacking

Don't waste your time until vidma will be close to beta stage. I mean it.
I am aware of many shortcomings (some are listed in issues w/ todo label) and they will be eventually addressed (in no particular order).

I won't accept any pull request before releasing version 0.2.0. ;-)

CAUTION!

Program is in ALPHA stage, therefore may be HARMFUL and UNSAFE!
You have been warned! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! NO WARRANTY!

To reduce possible damages of in-place operation ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR IMAGE or just do not use them at all.
