I'm trying to mount an ext2fs image (in a file), following sec. 17.13.2 of the Handbook and the mdconfig(8) manpage. Since I don't want to change the image, just examine it, I specified -o readonly to mdconfig and the equivalent to mount. Is there some reason why this should not work? The backing file, and the mountpoint, do exist.
