See a the contents of a Qemu image on a Linux/UNIX based OS using the mount command
Prerequisites[]
- you must have an OS installed under qemu
- we suppose that the OS you have installed with qemu is on the hd.img file
Problem[]
- How to see the content of the installed system (found in the file hd.img) ?
Steps[]
- create a directory called test near the hd.img file
- open a console and go in the directory where you have hd.img
- verify that nobody uses the hd.img file (by closing your qemu processes)
- mount the image in a directory called test for example :
mount -o loop,offset=32256 hd.img test
- now you should see the content of hd.img in the test directory
- when you have finished using it, you have to unmount it :
umount test
