VirtualBox

HowTos

Use a RAW image without convert it to VMDK

Associate the disk image with a loop device.
```
$ losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/usb.img
```

Create a virtual disk and register it with VirtualBox.

$ VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /path/to/usb.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/loop0

Please pay attention to permissions of loop device, it must be accessible by VirtualBox.

Install extension pack via shell (to avoid authentication problems)

# VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-*.vbox-extpack
