Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 15:01:40 -0500 To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Topicbox-Message-UUID: 2bbbfd8a-ead3-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 I decided to stop doing this with Plan 9 and decided to do it from within Mac OS X. I'm running Plan 9 atop QEMU, which is implemented as a program called Q (http://www.kju-app.org/). The first step was to convert the compressed QCOW hard disk image to a raw one for analysis: $ /Applications/Q.app/Contents/MacOS/qemu-img convert ~/Documents/ QEMU/Plan\ 9\ from\ Bell\ Labs.qvm/Harddisk_1.qcow2 -O raw ~/Desktop/ hd.raw When that is done, I'll examine hd.raw in a text editor and get my files back.
