Re: how to mount an image file ( .img ) in a loopback - mount -o loop ?

Hi tripolar.

I didn't read your first mail, but I'm assuming you used 'dd' to bkp the 
fs, is that it?

So far I can see, you can't mount it because the bkp is corrupted. I 
found this same error on a similar case, where the fs was XFS.
