How do I mount .vhd file?
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-fuse
sudo mkdir /mnt/vhd-disk/
sudo vdfuse -f disk.vhd /mnt/vhd-disk/
sudo mount -o loop /mnt/vhd-disk/Partition1 /mnt/partition1
Note that you may need additional options to mount
to set permissions to your liking.
Using Ubuntu 15.10 (works also on Ubuntu 16.04), you can install vhdimount and tsk (The Sleuth Kit) via:
sudo apt-get install libvhdi-utils sleuthkit
Then you can proceed as follows:
sudo mkdir -v /mnt/vhd
sudo vhdimount -X allow_root /path/to/file.vhd /mnt/vhd/
sudo mmls -aB /mnt/vhd/vhdi1
Next, you'll have to calculate the offset from the output of mmls
like this:
echo offset*512 | bc
And to finish:
sudo mkdir -v /media/${USER}/your/folder
sudo mount -vt ntfs-3g -o ro,noload,offset=offset-found /mnt/vhd/vhdi1 /media/${USER}/your/folder
Replace offset-found
by your offset. You may also have to change the fs-type according to the fs-type included in your vhd file.
I've made a script so I don't have to type this every time ;)
Searching Ubuntu's Launchpad space, the following comes up:
virtualbox (The binary 'virtualbox-fuse' is part of the virtualbox package)
This means that they merged virtualbox-fuse
into the main package and you just need to install virtualbox from the repository (This is what used to be called virtualbox-ose
, so if you need the PUEL licensed "full" version, this won't help you.)
