Mount a Virtual Box drive image (vdi)?

I have a VirtualBox harddisk, let's say here:

~/harddisk/ubuntu.vdi

How can I mount it using FUSE, so that it's accessible from the host PC?

Please assume that I've almost no knowledge about FUSE and mounting.

A bit of googling and I found this (no idea how useful it is) mat.uniroma1.it/~caminati/mount_vdi.html – hasen j Jan 2 '11 at 5:29

+1 Good question. Those two links above suggest it is only possible if you set up your virtual disc as "fixed size" rather than "variable size" – fluteflute Jan 2 '11 at 8:04
reading may be successful to some point but writing to a variable sized VDI will destroy it. – Takkat Jan 2 '11 at 8:12
Reading would be just fine. – FUZxxl Jan 2 '11 at 8:24

As a workaround, I would use Clonezilla to backup the partition to a file and then restore the partition into your other vm. I'm not familiar with FUSE but I am guessing that this is the general idea of what you need to do.

I actually just wanted to access them in order to have a bridge to my virtual system. – FUZxxl Jan 5 '11 at 11:40
