What does the offset=xxx do ? It does not exist on my version. Does it
indicate the offset of the filesystem image in the file ? If so, what
version of mount etc is this ?
thanks,
Peter

When specifying an offset for the partition, can it be used safely
without specifying its limits (size) ? What if I have another
partition at the end of the one I need - isn't there a chance it will
be overwritten?
What I meant by /dev/loop0p1 (look at a file in fdisk), is whether
there's a way

Interesting question. I believe so - at least for the file systems
I've used this with, the file system always knows where

Hello all,
Today I encountered a situation where I had to mount a single
partition off a whole hard-disk image, and I was wondering if there's
a better way than that I chose.
Starting from the beginning, I had an image of an entire disk (MBR,
partition table, everything) that had several

In order to get a single file off a certain partition, I did the following:
1. losetup the image file to /dev/loop0
