How to manually mount Linux disk image partition without using losetup
In this case we want to mount partition #2
fdisk -lu Centos-6.6-x86_64.img
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.
Disk Centos-6.6-x86_64.img: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 0 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
Centos-6.6-x86_64.img1 2048 1026047 512000 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
Centos-6.6-x86_64.img2 * 1026048 10485759 4729856 83 Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
I want to mount partition 2 which starts at 1026048.
Specify offset as: 1026048 * 512 = 525336576
How to mount partition number 2
mount -t ext4 -o loop,offset=525336576 Centos-6.6-x86_64.img /mnt
