Mounting image

[psysteme]

Starting with 12.1 I am no longer able to mount the created image with

mount -oloop,offset=32256 img.war mountpoint

Any solution ?

Thanks!

I seriously doubt that is a 12.1 bug.

I know I can mount images that way with 12.1 on my workstation.

Are you sure your filesystem starts at sector 63 (32256 bytes).
Modern versions of fdisk, etc. put the first partition at 1MB offset
(sector 2048).

You can also try using losetup, for example:

losetup /dev/loop0 yourimage.raw
kpartx -av /dev/loop0
mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 mnt/
