💖 VMFS-FUSE 💖 (that's section 8 of the manual, bestie — vmfs-tools, if you're keeping track)

okay so you wanna get a VMFS file system mounted? say less, this is literally the program for that 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

vmfs-fuse — mount VMFS file system

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vmfs-fuse VOLUME... MOUNT_POINT

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the whole vibe of vmfs-fuse is: it lets you mount VMFS file systems. that's the job. that's the assignment. 💜

The VOLUME you're opening can be either a block device or an image file — pick your fighter, both are valid. and here's the tea 🍓: when your VMFS is spread across several extents, you have to hand over all the extents. not some of them. not the cute ones. all of them. no cap.

The MOUNT_POINT is where the file system gets attached on the system — that's the lil spot where it'll live once it's mounted. 🎀
