Reply-To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org List-Id: qemu-devel.nongnu.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Hi, is there a way to extract the contents of a qemu raw image on (x86 Linux) host without starting QEMU itself? If so, any hint would be quite nice. I'm looking for anything like the reverse what http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-04/msg00448.html seems to do. Extract files/directories from an existing raw image. qemu-img reports me > qemu-img info disk.img image: disk.img file format: raw virtual size: 4.3M (4515328 bytes) disk size: 4.3M but what is in it and how to access the content? Thanks, and sorry if this is a FAQ and I missed the correct search string, Dirk
