Forcing mount to use a particular file system type



Hi,

I'm trying to mount a volume that is supposed to be FAT32, all sources I could find agree on that and so does sfdisk (reporting it as FAT32). However, the FS ID in the partition table is different, because it is a so-called "backup capsule" from Paragon Drive Backup.

Now I'd really like to mount that thing under Linux, without changing the FS ID.

Does anyone have any ideas or maybe the exact way? Maybe it's similar to mounting a QCOW image where one has to give a special offset?!

BTW: I tried to mount it as vfat and ntfs, neither one worked.

Thanks,

// Oliver
