VirtualBox
guest share
FYI: remember to mkdir a folder for this
sudo mount.vboxsf media /mnt/exchange
after adding a guest share the users need access which is granted by a group:
sudo usermod -G vboxsf -a $USER
sometimes it will generate a protocol error:
[ 6.646480] vboxsf: could not stat root of share: -71
[ 6.647218] 06:53:23.826079 automount Error: vbsvcAutomounterMountIt: Failed to mount 'exchange' on '/mnt/exchange': Protocol error (-1,71)
the workaround is to choose an new/other folder on the host system.
vhd
modprobe nbd
qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 image.vhd
mount /dev/nbd0 /mnt
[..work...]
umount /mnt
qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
modprobe -r nbd
libguestfs
[install libguestfs-tools]
virt-list-partitions FILE_NAME.vhdx
guestmount -a srv-kirikas-storage.vhdx -m DEVICE --ro MOUNT_POINT
vmdk
sudo apt install libguestfs-tools
sudo guestmount -a xyz.vmdk -m /dev/sda3 --ro /mnt/vmdk
OR sudo guestmount -a xyz.vmdk -i --ro /mnt/vmdk
sudo -i (you need to be root to access the folder)
migrate from vhdk to vdi
to handle the error Could not get the storage format of the medium (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)”
VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VDI your-server.vmdk new-server.vdi
VBoxManage clonehd --format VDI your-server.vmdk new-server.vdi
but windows fails with bluescreen because of [unknown], maybe the drive driver?
virtual bridge inside
as soon as you have a bridge inside the VM all the networking traffic is broken. Maybe it is the copy of the MAC, which breaks it. However, after doing things, it is working now.
