| 5 | <title>Mounting a Virtual Disk Image</title>

| 9 | The following steps show how to use the
|
|---|
| 10 | <userinput>vboximg-mount</userinput> command to mount a partition of
|
|---|
| 11 | a virtual disk image on the host OS.
|
|---|
| 12 | </p>
|
|---|
| 13 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 14 | <li>
|
|---|
| 15 | <p>
|
|---|
| 16 | Create a mount point on the host OS. For example:
|
|---|
| 17 | </p>
|
|---|
| 18 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ mkdir macos_sysdisk</pre>
|
|---|
| 19 | </li>
|
|---|
| 20 | <li>
|
|---|
| 21 | <p>
|
|---|
| 22 | Show partition information about the virtual disk image.
|
|---|
| 23 | </p>
|
|---|
| 24 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ vboximg-mount --image=<varname>uuid</varname> --list</pre>
|
|---|
| 25 | <p>
|
|---|
| 26 | where <varname>uuid</varname> is the UUID of the
|
|---|
| 27 | disk image.
|
|---|
| 28 | </p>
|
|---|
| 29 | </li>
|
|---|
| 30 | <li>
|
|---|
| 31 | <p>
|
|---|
| 32 | Use <userinput>vboximg-mount</userinput> to perform a FUSE mount
|
|---|
| 33 | of a partition on the virtual disk image. For example:
|
|---|
| 34 | </p>
|
|---|
| 35 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ vboximg-mount --image=<varname>uuid</varname> -p 2 macos_sysdisk</pre>
|
|---|
| 36 | <p>
|
|---|
| 37 | where <varname>uuid</varname> is the UUID for the
|
|---|
| 38 | disk image.
|
|---|
| 39 | </p>
|
|---|
| 40 | <p>
|
|---|
| 41 | In this example, partition 2 is mounted on the
|
|---|
| 42 | <filepath>macos_sysdisk</filepath> mount point. The mount
|
|---|
| 43 | includes all snapshots for the disk image.
|
|---|
| 44 | </p>
|
|---|
| 45 | </li>
|
|---|
| 46 | <li>
|
|---|
| 47 | <p>
|
|---|
| 48 | Use the host OS to mount the <codeph>vhdd</codeph> device
|
|---|
| 49 | node. The FUSE-mounted device node represents the virtual
|
|---|
| 50 | disk image.
|
|---|
| 51 | </p>
|
|---|
| 52 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ ls macos_sysdisk
|
|---|
| 53 | macOS High Sierra 10.13.vdi vhdd
|
|---|
| 54 | $ sudo mount macos_sysdisk/vhdd /mnt</pre>
|
|---|
| 55 | </li>
|
|---|
| 56 | </ol>
