Libguestfs also includes guestmount, which can mount disk images directly into the local filesystem. įor exFAT support at the moment (Oct 2016), create zz-exfat like so: # echo exfat-fuse > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-exfat # echo exfat-utils > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-exfat It can access proprietary systems like VMware and Hyper-V.' # apt install libguestfs-tools # guestfish -ro -a disk.img > run. It can access disk images on remote machines or on CDs/USB sticks.
