I'm migrating some machines from KVM to VirtualBox for a transitional period while we build our new virtualization environment.
The problem now, the disks are located on a LVM partition, and I have to convert them to a format VirtualBox recognizes. I've found a lot of documentation for the transition on the other direction, but not on this one.
qemu-img convert -c /dev/Volume01/Disk -O qcow2 Disk.qcow2
The tool seems to do its job, but the disk won't work. On VirtualBox, I get FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.
. Are there another options?

dd the volume first:
Technically you could give that raw file to VirtualBox, but VDI is its native format.
