title: vmdk mounting on osx
body: <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7791167/how-can-i-mount-vmdk-in-10-7">How can I mount vmdk in 10.7?</a> seems to be outdated.  what is the recommended way to mount vmdk volumes in osx 10.10 yosemite and vmware fusion 7, short of starting vmware fusion itself?</p>
  
  <p>(vmdk is also used by virtualbox, so presumably the format is reasonably open.  fuse can still be sideloaded from <a href="https://osxfuse.github.io/" rel="noreferrer">https://osxfuse.github.io/</a> .  but beyond this, I have no idea.) </p>
