Installed over an old Ubuntu 14.04lts to 18.04lts with luks and was laggu, then debian w/o luks- still slower and laggy. Is it the meltdown and Spectre fixes? Currently at 4.17.0.
Not having any luck transferring the image to the SSD.
I tired it with both the original image, which is quite a bit larger than the SSD, as well as a shrunk down version where I did qemu-img resize windows10pro.img 475G
I tried going through Disks, and doing a āRestore Disk Imageā on the SSD, but that both took a very long time, as well as didnāt work.
The dd command I am using is this: sudo dd if=/run/media/marasm/BulkStorage03/windows10pro.img of=/dev/sda bs=4M conv=noerror,sync status=progress
EDIT: So, apparently the SSD is actually bootable. I did it on bare metal as well as added it to the VM and booted to it. Still shows as being empty in Fedora, not sure why.
It takes a very long time to boot, though. Several minutes of spinning dots, then some kind of reboot and blank screen, then the login screen. Something isnāt right with it.
Thatās where I have the 8TB internal hard drive mounted to. And a couple 1TB drives are mounted like that too. Maybe Iām doing that wrong? Been working fine for a while.
Yeah, somewhere along the line my brain decided it was OK to mount my drives there. Thatās the default location Fedora mounts external hard drives, soā¦ I just went with it. Iāll mount the internal drives to mnt from now on.
Not sure whatās going on with the imaged SSD, though. I remember shrinking img files for VMs before, and I think I recall having to do something else besides qemu-img resize. The file system may be corrupted. Just imaging the image to the SSD may not be enough, need to fix the mbr or boot partition or something?
Dunno. I just installed my desktop fresh (which, coincidentally, is why I am rebuilding my VM setup), and I just tried plugging in a couple external drives and they mounted in the same place as previous. /run/media/ā¦
Interesting. May look into it. Would that cause issues if I store VM images there?
That really seems wrong to me, but Iām sure thereās some rational explanation. Wish I knew why. My guess is that Gnome is doing it but I could be wrong.

Oh, NTFS. Maybe itās a fuse thing. @SgtAwesomesauce do you know why itās mounting under /run?
