Hello,
I successfully run vdprepare.sh on an old 32 bit ubuntu 10 vhd file made in Virtualbox.

I have not tested yet to boot my PC from the vhd file though.
I'm trying first creating a vhd with lubuntu-15.04 both 32/64bit versions with no success.

Should it work with newest/older versions of lubuntu?
Should it work with both 32/64 bit ubuntu versions (tried 14.4.2 with no success either)?
I gave up trying with the newer ubuntu v15...

I get errors with "update-initramfs -k all -c":
$ E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/vdfuse failed with return 1
E:: command not found
etc etc...

It seems to me a minor issue related to commands generation but I couldn't find in any of your script an extra "E:" charachter sequence. Do you have any clue about what the possible cause could be?

Thanks for any help you might give me
and have a nice day,
Virginio

    Hi, I do not have access to the project at the moment. Will check this and
    let you know this weekend.

    Thanks for using vdfuse.

    Hi Virginio,

    I had tested it on a older version of Ubuntu. Can you please try executing the commands in vdprepare.sh manually one by one.

    I ran the the bundled vdfuse binary (/vdfuse-minimal/sbin/vdfuse) on my Ubuntu 14.04 and it is executing fine. Please try the same in your environment and let me know.

    Regards,
    Lokesh

    Hello Lokesh,
    I'm sorry for this late reply, I'm finally free to continue testing.

    I just followed your suggestions and managed to make it work on Ubuntu 14.04 manual adding the correct privileges to vdfuse:

    sudo chmod a+x /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/vdfuse
sudo ./vdprepare.sh

    It worked also on Ubuntu Server 15.04 with some extra chmod commands...

    Since I'm using grub4dos on my pc I'd like to ask you if the vhd might boot as well on grub4dos (and if you have a menu-entry example to give me) or how grub/grub4dos can co-exist or be chained one to another to make the vhd boot.

    Thanks again
    and have a nice day,
    V.

      We should be able to chainload the mbr file of grub4dos from grub similar
      to this,

      title Grub4DOS on (hd0,0)
      root (hd0,0)
      chainloader /grldr
