Hi there,
With reference to a couple of previous threads:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/193263
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/197120
Here's what I'm trying:
$ ls -lh sda.dd.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 stroller users 77G 2009-11-22 03:51 sda.dd.img
$ file sda.dd.img
sda.dd.img: x86 boot sector, Microsoft Windows XP MBR, Serial
0x1890189; partition 1: ID=0x7, active, starthead 1, startsector
63,
160810587 sectors, code offset 0xc0

yeah, you don't need to use losetup. I mounted a lot of images over
the years
and I never used losetup.
How do I do it then, please?
Note, it's an image of an entire hard-drive, imaged using `dd` or GNU
`ddrescue`, so it also includes the MBR & partition table. It's not
just a partition or an .iso optical disk image.
modprobe loop
mount -o loop /image /pfad
Where /pfad is the mountpoint?
Because that's not working here.
$ sudo mount -o loop /path/to/sda.dd.img /mnt/floppy/ -t ntfs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop/1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
$
Stroller.
