How do I mount a partition that is in an image file? I have a file called centos.img that has 3 partitions in the file. I need to copy data to the third partition on that image file. I have seen things about a loop back device (which is fine) but then it talked about an offset parameter and I dont know what that is or more importantly what number to use. I hope I'm on the right track. How

Hey, guys. I have a problem when installing syslinux 4.06, and I'd be grateful if someone could tell me how to solve the problem. My task - to install the bootloader on the virtual machine image. The image contains the MBR and the only partition with the file system ext4. The file system contains all the files for the guest OS. To install bootloader into the image of the guest OS, I use the

Hi! I recently tried to mount a filesystem in RAID1 mode using loopback devices. I followed the instructions at [1]. Here''s exactly what I''ve done: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=raid1_0.img bs=1M count=500 $ dd if=/dev/zero of=raid1_1.img bs=1M count=500 $ mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 raid1_0.img raid1_1.img $ losetup /dev/loop0 raid1_0.img $ losetup /dev/loop1 raid1_1.img $ mount -t

Hi, I'm trying to build a bootable MSDOS disk and put it on a ISO with floppy and hard disk emulation. I want to use commonly available Linux tools like dd, losetup, mkdosfs, memdisk etc. I have done the following: 1. dd if=/dev/zero of=myImage bs=1M count=50 [ Builds a 52MB image ] 2. losetup /dev/loop0 myImage [Links /dev/loop0 to myImage file ] 3. vi /grub/stage1; %!xxd; [ NULL the partion

Continuing on with my earlier post . . . after looking through code of JBD, is the following perhaps the difference in why the md5 values differ; When a journalled filesystem that uses jbd is mounted the journal b_count is incremented by one? *EVEN* if the volume was mounted read only, this b_count is still increased by one? curious as ever! lt __________________________________ Do you

Is there something special about filesystems mounted via the loop device, which prevents Samba from sharing them? I have a small LAN with several PCs on it. It has a few Windows machines, and a Linux machine running Mandrake 10 (kernel 2.6.3), which shares out its root ("/") read-only as "c". (Temporarily, for testing, it is shared with full write permissions, which I know

Here's the problem. We perform full tar backups of our CentOS 4/5 machines in real-time at regular intervals. And when a disaster happens, we are able to restore those backups onto virgin filesystems, make the /dev/null, /dev/zero and /dev/console devices .. and boot the machine. This has worked well on standalone systems, and also on Xen 3.0.3 guests on CentOS 4.4 machines, where each guest

Hi, I have Xen 3.3.1 dom0 on Debian with 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 kernel and I had to "xm destroy" my domU.

Hallo, linux-btrfs, First I create an array of 2 disks with mkfs.btrfs -d raid0 -m raid1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdd1 and mount it at /srv/MM. Then I fill it with about 1,6 TByte. And then I add /dev/sde1 via btrfs device add /dev/sde1 /srv/MM btrfs filesystem balance /srv/MM (it run about 20 hours) Then I work on it, copy some new files, delete some old files - all works well. Only df

I have tried several variations of the "disk" paramater, all
