...39;s solution I don't bother to parse the virtual size out of the XML file, so you need to specify that on the command line otherwise the disk will be truncated to the largest extent stored in the file. Also the ‘.xva’ file must not be compressed. $ nbdkit perl script=./xva-reader.pl file=./debian8cloud.xva size=4294967296 $ guestfish --ro --format=raw -a nbd://localhost -i Welcome to guestfish, the guest filesystem shell for editing virtual machine filesystems and disk images. Type: 'help' for help on commands 'man' to read the manual 'quit'...

I can try to provide one, but it's simple: # tar tvf 20160630_124823_aa72_.xva.gz | head -n 50 ---------- 0/0 42353 1970-01-01 01:00 ova.xml ---------- 0/0 1048576 1970-01-01 01:00 Ref:175/00000000
