So you can't just copy the content of the vdi to the external file system.
When you put a vdi file in a harddisk and boot from the vdi file.
There is almost no performance loss with that you install the system directly to the harddisk and boot it.
When ventoy boot a vdi file, it will use device-mapper to create a device and doesn't care about the ext/xfs/... file system the the vdi file in.
So there is almost no performance loss .
Ah ok that's good to hear, guess i'll stick wth the VDI then - which is good as well as its easy for me to backup just one single file for my whole linux OS ! Thanks longpanda and happy chinese new year to you!
