What is the source OS type? GFS won't be preserved, the volume will become ext3.

Many Thank you Peevs.

OS is RHEL 6.3 x64. We are planning to P2V migrate of only one physical node (active node) of a 2 (two) node Linux cluster group.

3 mount point of this Linux Cluster is from SAN Storage LUN and as in GFS file system.

VM Converter 6.0

vCenter 5.5u3

ESXi 5.5u3

So VM Converter 6.0 can migrate GFS file system? Will GFS volume automatically migrate to EXT3 (it is nice if it become ext3)?

Thank You.
