Dislocker has been designed to read BitLocker encrypted partitions ("drives") under a Linux system. The driver used to only read volumes encrypted under a Microsoft Windows 7 system but is now Microsoft Windows Vista capable and has the write functionality.
The file name where the BitLocker encrypted partition will be decrypted needs to be given. This may take a long time, depending on the size of the encrypted partition. But afterward, once the partition is decrypted, the access to the NTFS partition will be faster than with FUSE. Another thing to think about is the size of the disk (same size as the volume that is tried to be decrypted). Nevertheless, once the partition is decrypted, the file can be mounted as any NTFS partition.
Alternatively for FUSE a mount point needs to be given to fuse-dislocker. Once keys are decrypted, a file named 'dislocker-file' appears into this provided mount point. This file is a virtual NTFS partition, it can be mounted as any NTFS partition and then reading from it or writing to it is possible.
