Deep Inspection

See Inside Any VM Disk

Inspect partitions, filesystems, bootloaders, and network configuration -- all without booting the VM.

Partition & Filesystem Analysis

Detect partition tables, filesystem types, mount points, and disk layout across all major formats instantly.

Bootloader Inspection

Identify GRUB, systemd-boot, and Windows Boot Manager configurations. Detect misconfigurations before they cause boot failures.

Network & OS Config

Extract network interfaces, hostname, DNS, and OS release information directly from disk without any VM startup.

AI-Powered

Ask "Why Won't This Boot?"

Optional AI diagnostics analyze disk state and provide actionable fix plans. Export remediation as bash scripts or Ansible playbooks.

Intelligent Diagnostics

  • Root cause analysis for boot failures
  • Missing driver and module detection
  • Filesystem corruption identification
  • Configuration drift analysis

Actionable Fix Plans

  • Export fixes as bash or Ansible
  • Automated fstab/crypttab rewriting
  • Security hardening recommendations
  • Migration-ready configuration patches
