Hi, Last year I made a diskimage of a CF-hard-disk using dd. Now I have some problems booting that disk so I want to investigate the differences. However, I can't mount that diskimage with "mount -o loop diskimage /mnt". I think it's because the image contains two partitions. Is it possible to mount such an image ?
Try running 'parted -s diskimage unit B print' to see where each partition starts/ends. Then you could a) extract the partition with dd to another file, which should be mountable with mount -o loop ... or b) use device-mapper linear mapping to access the partition (man dmraid). IMHO it should work, but I'm not sure. Please note, that 1) I've never tried that before 2) there might be much easier solution -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, Packages maintainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: puzel@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 964 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
