Mount image-sdb.img with mount?
 

Hi,

I made backup two years ago. What is a newbie method to mound those several partitions?

# file -s 20100514_image_disk120gb_sde.img
20100514_image_disk120gb_sde.img: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, stage2 address 0x2000, stage2 segment 0x200; partition 1: ID=0xc, active, starthead 1, startsector 63, 22523067 sectors; partition 3: ID=0xf, starthead 0, startsector 22523130, 211913415 sectors, code offset 0x48

I found this but it is too complicated.

Do you have a x11 frontend or command line frontend with dialog?


s# mount 20100514_image_disk120gb_sde.img /mnt/dsk/ -o offset=$((22523130*512)) -o ro -t vfat
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

need a script for newbies

I would not like to use gdisk at all


# fdisk -ul 20100514_image_disk120gb_sde.img
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.

thank yaouh

it looks like a two step process. the first one is losetup and the second is the mount.

From the name of your image file, '20100514_image_disk120gb_sde.img', it sounds like you have a copy of a block device (/dev/sde), not just a partition (/dev/sdeN, where N=1,2,3...). If so, you will need to do a few things to access the data in the copy of the device. I think it is very very unlikely that any GUI tool for this exists. The tools you will need are kpartx, mount, losetup (maybe) and device-mapper (maybe). Before I launch into a full explanation, please let me know whether my initial conjecture is correct.
