xmount

Convert on-the-fly between multiple input and output hard disk image types with optional write cache support. Create a virtual file system using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) that contains a virtual representation of the input image. More information: https://manned.org/xmount.

• Mount a .raw image file into a DMG container file:

xmount --in {{raw}} {{path/to/image.dd}} --out {{dmg}} {{mountpoint}}

• Mount an EWF image file with write-cache support into a VHD file to boot from:

xmount --cache {{path/to/cache.ovl}} --in {{ewf}} {{path/to/image.E??}} --out {{vhd}} {{mountpoint}}

• Mount the first partition at sector 2048 into a new .raw image file:

xmount --offset {{2048}} --in {{raw}} {{path/to/image.dd}} --out {{raw}} {{mountpoint}}
