I am trying to convert vmdk image to raw format but I am getting an error statement. 

qemu-img convert -f vmdk Ubuntu-12.04-LTS-Jeos-1.0-disk1.vmdk -O raw myImage.raw

and I am getting following error.

qemu-img: error while reading sector 327680: Invalid argument

However it creates myImage.raw image with 0 disk size. I have googled it but couldn't find any solution.
I am using qemu-img version 1.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. Any suggestions would be helpful


Question: How do I make shelf stable legume dishes in vacuum bags?
Answer: According to the National Center for Home Food Preservation you need to process beans in a pressure canner for a fairly long time. Its very unlikely that your home vacuum sealer's bags can take the elevated temperatures in a pressure canner.

Also, if there is even the slightest leak in the vacuum bag (after its come out of the pressure canner), there is a risk of botulism.

In other words, you can't make these at home. You need to use traditional home canning equipment (e.g., mason jars) instead. If you want bags of beans, I suggest freezing them; beans keep fairly well frozen.
