Mount VDI image from Host

Post by virtualhuman »

I've got a bunch of windows guests and I'd like to scan them all from my Host by using ClamAV. The idea is to shutdown each Guest, mount the VDI image and run a scan, once its over the Guest is booted up again.

Is this even feasible? I haven't found a way to mount VDI images on my Linux Host (CentOS 7).

Thank you.
