Description
This module mounts a vmdk file (Virtual Machine Disk) on a drive provided by the user by taking advantage
of the vstor2 device driver (VMware). First, it executes the binary vixDiskMountServer.exe to access the
device and then it sends certain control code via DeviceIoControl to mount it. Use the write mode with
extreme care. You should only open a disk file in writable mode if you know for sure that no snapshots
or clones are linked from the file.
