I'm pretty sure I have a blurb from Klaus Knopper in a Linux Journal sitting at my house that explains just how to do that. Something to do with figuring out an offset but I don't recall the details. I'm out of town for some training right now so If you don't get a good answer before late Friday let me know and I'll see if I can dig it up for you. -Colin On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 10:49 AM, Robin Wood <dninja at gmail.com> wrote:
Hi If in linux I use dd to create a file from a whole device, say dd if=/dev/sdb of=sd_card.dump then I want to mount a partition that is on that dump, how can I do it? I know that if I dd'ed a single partition I could mount it as loopback but having the whole disk as a file I don't know how to reference a single partition in that file.
