Hi folks,
I'd like to mount a VMDK image on FreeBSD, but I cannot find any
suitable tools for it.
I've been told that one can use qemu-nbd[1] for it:
sudo qemu-nbd -r -c /dev/nbd1 ./path/to/vmfile.vmdk
However, it looks like NBD is not supported on FreeBSD[2]. I was able to
find some NBD client[3] for FreeBSD but it is not clear to me how to use
it to mount VMDK with QEMU.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mateusz Piotrowski
