mounting VDI image on the host
by BenCollver from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GZZ9)
On Fedora i used guestmount to mount VirtualBox VDI images on the host system.
This method won't work on Slackware because libguestfs depends on supermin, which has a hard requirement for the package manager to do dependency checking [1].
Also, i have experienced guestmount freezing and hanging when i copy large numbers of files or large multi-gigabyte files from the guest.
Today i tried vdfuse and it is working like a charm [2]. Attached is vdfuse.SlackBuild updated so it will build on -current.
