Description-en: tool for crossmounting between disk image formats
xmount can be used to boot forensic disk images with QEMU, KVM,
VirtualBox, VMware, or the like, since it supports virtual write
access with redirection to a cache file.
.
xmount converts between multiple input and output disk image types
on the fly, using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) to create a virtual
file system representing the input image. The virtual representation
can be in raw DD, DMG, VirtualBox VDI format, Microsoft VHD format, or
VMware VMDK format; input images can be raw DD, EWF (Expert Witness
Compression Format), or AFF (Advanced Forensic Format) files.
