LTRData.DiscUtils.Vmdk

Managed .NET support for reading, creating and modifying supported VMware VMDK layouts, including differencing disk chains.

Part of the LTRData DiscUtils fork. Package IDs use LTRData.DiscUtils; C# namespaces remain DiscUtils.

Installation

dotnet add package LTRData.DiscUtils.Vmdk

Capabilities

Capability Support
Read existing images Yes, for supported layouts
Create new images Yes, for supported DiskCreateType values
Write virtual disk content Yes, for writable layouts
Differencing disks and parent chains Yes

Usage notes

Support varies by extent/layout type. Compressed hosted-sparse extents are read-only. Opening from a single Stream is more restricted than path-based opening, which can resolve descriptor files, external extents and parents. Creation support is not implied for every DiskCreateType enum value.

Registration

For automatic discovery, register the providers implemented by this package:

DiscUtils.Vmdk.Formats.Register();

Direct use of the concrete APIs in this package does not require discovery registration. Each registration call covers only its own assembly. Register DiscUtils.Core.Formats.Register() as well when using generic disk opening through the local-file transport, and register other disk/filesystem providers as needed. These registration calls support trimming and Native AOT; this is not a guarantee for every operation in the package.

Example

using System;
using System.IO;
using DiscUtils.Vmdk;

using var disk = new Disk("existing.vmdk", FileAccess.Read);
Console.WriteLine(disk.Capacity);
// disk.Content is the virtual disk's sector data, including any partition table.
