Hi,
is there a way to extract the contents of a qemu raw image on (x86
Linux) host without starting QEMU itself? If so, any hint would be
quite nice.
I'm looking for anything like the reverse what
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-04/msg00448.html
seems to do. Extract files/directories from an existing raw image.
qemu-img reports me
> qemu-img info disk.img
image: disk.img
file format: raw
virtual size: 4.3M (4515328 bytes)
disk size: 4.3M
but what is in it and how to access the content?
Thanks, and sorry if this is a FAQ and I missed the correct search
string,
Dirk
Hi,
have you tried using a loop back mount?
# mount -o loop disk.img mnt/
mount: You have to specify a file system type
# mount -t raw -o loop disk.img mnt/
mount: unknown file system type „raw“
Sorry if I miss the obvious ;)
Dirk
