I am trying to access a partition of a usb disk image I downloaded. I have gotten so far as binding it to a loopback device with losetup, and according to fdisk there should be a /dev/loop0p1, but this file does not exist. Does anyone know how to mount this partition to be able to work with it?
Easy way? Use mount with the -o loop option.
That would work if it was an image of, say, sda1. If it was an image of sda, however, that doesn't work (asks for a partition type). Any ideas on how to work with an image in this form?
Well, you can copy it to an empty disc of adequate size and then mount the partitions normally.
I would prefer if there was a way that didn't involve the time if finding/writing to a new disk.
My apologies, I did not find that in my own set of googles. Thanks for the link.
