Mounting a VHD in macOS
Source: https://serverfault.com/a/1000645
It's now 2020, and these 10-year-old instructions almost worked. Here's what I did to mount an old Backup Image from Windows 7 on my Mojave Mac, based on the accepted answer from Jan Bernlöhr, as well as the script in the question.
- Install osxfuse (the successor to macfuse)
- Install VirtualBox
- Download the vdfuse source code (vdfuse.c) from https://github.com/Thorsten-Sick/vdfuse (currently at v83 - the original link is pegged to v80).
- Download the VirtualBox headers, but you have to get a version from 2012. I used the following command: svn co -r '{20120801}' http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/include/
- Use the following build instructions, adapted from the question, but with a few small alterations (64-bit build, and newer VirtualBoxes don't seem to have VBoxREM.dylib:
infile=vdfuse.c outfile=vdfuse incdir="$(pwd)/include" INSTALL_DIR="/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS" CFLAGS="-pipe"
gcc -arch x86_64 "${infile}" \
"${INSTALL_DIR}"/VBoxDD.dylib \
"${INSTALL_DIR}"/VBoxDDU.dylib \
"${INSTALL_DIR}"/VBoxVMM.dylib \
"${INSTALL_DIR}"/VBoxRT.dylib \
"${INSTALL_DIR}"/VBoxDD2.dylib \
-o "${outfile}" \
-I"${incdir}" -I"/usr/local/include/fuse" \
-Wl,-rpath,"${INSTALL_DIR}" \
-lfuse_ino64 \
-Wall ${CFLAGS}
- Mount the vhd disk
sudo ./vdfuse -tVHD -w -f/Path/To/VHD /Path/To/Mountpoint
- Attach the virtual partition blockfiles
hdiutil attach -imagekey diskimage-class=CRawDiskImage -nomount /Path/To/Mountpoint/PartitionN
- Mount the virtual partition
mount -t YourFS /dev/diskK /Path/To/ParitionMountPoint
Miraculously, this works a charm!
