--- Begin Message ---Package: mount Version: any Severity: wishlist Tags: patch,upstream It will be really useful to be able to loopback mount partitions that resides inside a disk image file (obtained via dd, qemu images and so on). Patch to the kernel by different sources (also NASA!) were created but I think that a script like the one below will be enough for nearly everyone. I know that my little script will not be included upstream ever, but if our beloved debian users needs it that is it: - cut text below and copy it in /usr/local/bin/losetup_p then chmod +x it - #!/bin/sh # Usage: losetup_p <image_filename> [mount_point [partition_#]] FILE=$1 ; MNT=$2 ; PART=$3 FREELO=$(losetup -f) losetup $FREELO $FILE FDISK_OUT=$(fdisk -l -u "$FREELO" 2>&1) losetup -d $FREELO VDEV=$(echo "$FREELO"p"${PART:=1}") CYL=`echo "$FDISK_OUT" | sed -ne "s_^$VDEV[ *]*\([0-9]*\).*_\1_p"` START=$((CYL*512)) echo "loop mounting $FILE on ${MNT:=/mnt/loop/part} at offset $START" mount "$FILE" "${MNT:=/mnt/loop/part}" -o loop,offset=$START - end cut - Warning: you need to "mkdir -p /mnt/loop/part" if you do not want to pass a mount point to the script above. I hope that this will be useful to some people. -- ESC:wq
