...there is a much simpler fusefs tool in debian called vdfuse that I

FreeBSD or if there still may be bugs, so please give this a good test
and post your results here.  Here's a simple example:

        # vdfuse -r -f ~nox/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/win7-64.vdi /mnt
        # mdconfig -a -f /mnt/Partition2 -o readonly
        md0
        # mount -o ro -t ntfs /dev/md0 /mnt2
        # ls -l /mnt2
        ...
        # umount /mnt2
        # mdconfig -d -u 0
        # umount /mnt

It works for a .vdi of a UFS drive.  The BSD partitions show up on the
md0 device (md0a, etc).  Just a trivial test, but looks promising!

Yep, those kind of tests worked for me too, I just wasn't sure if it
also survives `heavy use', i.e. reading/writing/using files much on
the mounted fs.es...

Dumping the partitions of that FreeBSD system worked just now. Not what I'd call a thorough test, but it did read everything in the filesystem without problems.
