Extract files from ploop disk image

  • 772

I have ploop disk image created by dumping an OpenVZ container. There are two files:

791     DiskDescriptor.xml
2.4G    root.hdd

Is there any way to extract the whole root file system from there on a non-OpenVZ machine?

openvz ploop

  1. You don't need to spin up the container, you can simply mount the filesystem image according the manual https://openvz.org/Man/ploop.8

    ploop mount
    [-r] [-F] [-d device] [-m mount_point] [-o mount_options] [-t fstype] [-u uuid] DiskDescriptor.xml

  2. You can use ploop_userspace.

    ./ploop_userspace root.hdd &
mount -r -o noload /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt
