mounting a vdi
I have a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk (vdi).
Extract the real data:
VBoxManage internalcommands converttoraw input.vdi output.raw
Get the offset:
sfdisk -luS output.raw
Disk output.raw: cannot get geometry Disk output.raw: 1305 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System output.raw1 * 63 20948759 20948697 7 HPFS/NTFS output.raw2 0 - 0 0 Empty output.raw3 0 - 0 0 Empty output.raw4 0 - 0 0 Empty
The offset is startsector * sectors size, in this case: 63 * 512 = 32256
I installed Windows XP to the virtual hard disk (vdi) , which uses NTFS as filesystem.
mount -t ntfs -o ro,noatime,noexec,loop,offset=32256 output.raw /mnt/some_mount_point
