Description
VMWare Server 2.0 includes an incredibly useful little tool called vmware-mount. This tool makes use of FUSE and a loopback mechanism to quickly and easily mount VMDK files on the host system for read-write access. This is incredibly useful and beats the hell out of the various hackey methods for mounting Virtual Box images on the host. Also, unlike said hackey methods, it works for dynamically expanding VMDKs.
A tool for Virtual Box that does the same would be very very cool.
