Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Using losetup etc to mount and then modify a flat VMDK ...
Hi folks,
This seems to work:
nutanix@NTNX-15SM12010009-B-CVM:10.4.80.40:~$ sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/MainContainer/RichardCentOSSimpleDisk/RichardCentOSSimpleDisk-flat.vmdk
nutanix@NTNX-15SM12010009-B-CVM:10.4.80.40:~$ losetup -o 210763776 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0
losetup: /dev/loop0: warning: file smaller than 512 bytes, the loop device maybe be useless or invisible for system tools.

When I booted the VM, the changes were all there.
What I did here is:
1. Access the vmdk as a loop device
2. Setup another loop device that skips the first partition
3. Mounted it
4. Edited the network setup file.
5. Put an authorized_keys file in /root/.ssh
6. Unmounted it
7. Booted the VM
8. Checked that the mods were there, and they were.
