[How-To] Mount Multi

It is probably easiest to clone the image to an external drive (that is big enough), for example a USB pendrive, if the image is fairly small.

You can then mount say, the first partition, with: mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt/mypartition. Hope that helps. Share. Share a link to this answer.

I've a .dd file of 120 gb, but i can't mount the file. I've use sudo mount -o loop file.dd /mnt and the output is: mount: /mnt: wrong

I installed testdisk on my FreeBSD partition and created an image.dd file of this entire hard disk (250 GB). How can I mount/open/extract this image.dd file?

You can try with the command losetup -Pfr filename.img where you replace filename.img with the name of the disk image file you have.

If you have a full dd image of the disk, you can just do losetup -Pf /path/to/your/image.img and that will pick a loopback device and perform ...

You've got the first part: fdisk -l to find the start offset. Take that number, multiply by 512, and you'll get the offset option to mount.

I was wondering since I have a 2TB external HDD, could it be possible to mount my backed up image on the external HDD and then copy the files into the /home ...

Yes, it is perfectly possible to mount partition images made with dd. You should add a -o loop (ie, use a loopback device) to the mount command.

I tried using qemu and vhdtool to convert the img to vmd(x) so that Windows could natively mount it, but that only works for some images.
