Generally, we use them to install Virtual Machine operating systems such as in VirtualBox or Hyper-V. However, we can also create and use VHDs just like a native drive partition on Windows 10 or 7 systems.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, backup images also save in the.VHD format, thus to access them is really a need of the hours, in case you want some file resides in them. So, what would happen, if you need to extract some files from VHD on Linux; resides on the local or remote machine. And you don&#8217;t have a Windows system. Don&#8217;t worry we can mount them on Linux as well.<\/p>\n<p>For carrying out the tutorial, we are using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS focal fossa, however, the steps given here are also applicable for Ubuntu 18.04\/19.04\/16.04; Linux Mint, Elementary OS, ZorinOS, Kali Linux, and other similar ones.<\/p>\n<p>Here we are going to mount a VHD image on Ubuntu or Debian-based systems that have some information we need to extract; using a tool called guestmounts.\u00a0\u00a0Let&#8217;s see how to use it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> The <strong>guestmounts<\/strong> tool comes in <strong>libguestfs<\/strong> package along with other tools, thus first we need to install the same.

However, on remote storage with SAMA\/CISF shared protocol, we need to add its support to Ubuntu Linux first.<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt-get install cifs-utils<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Check the filesystem and available partitions on the Virtual Hard Disk image on Linux using &#8220;guestfish&#8221; command:<\/p>\n<p>The guestfish is also a tool that comes along with the libguestfs-tools package.<\/p>\n<pre>sudo guestfish --ro -a VHD-file-path<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: replace the <strong>VHD-file-path<\/strong> with the actual path where your VHD image located. For example: Here we have h2s.vhd located on the Desktop of Ubuntu, thus the command is:<\/p>\n<p><em>sudo guestfish &#8211; -ro -a h2s.vhd<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once you dropped in the GuestFish Shell, type:<\/p>\n<pre>run<\/pre>\n<pre>list-filesystems<\/pre>\n<pre>exit<\/pre>\n<p>This will give you the partition details of the VHD image and the file system in which it has been formatted. <strong>Note<\/strong> down that.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see that in the following image, our Virtual Disk image is in <strong>NTFS format<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.how2shout.com\/linux\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cmd_KARYnYkXvD-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-496 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.how2shout.com\/linux\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cmd_KARYnYkXvD-min.jpg\" alt=\"Check VHD image file system format on Linux using guestfish tool\" width=\"979\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Switch to the root user.<\/strong> It is because we tried but couldn&#8217;t use the &#8220;guestmount&#8221; without <code>sudo <\/code>access.
