Hi,

Is it possible to access the virtual disk of a VM from the host (linux in my case) 
without having it's "owner" booted?

George...

You can convert a VDI image to raw format, and then just mount that image as if it were a disk, if there are multiple partitions then you need to do some fdisk tasks to find the offset to mount at.

e.g.

VBoxManage clonehd your-virtualbox-disk.vdi disk.img --format RAW

fdisk -l -u=sectors disk.img

offset = 512 * Start of partition

mount -o loop,offset=xxxx disk.img /mnt/mountpoint
