Mount CloneZilla image

2009 mounting, system, Command-line

1. locate image and go there, you will find files like: "sda1.ntfs-img.aa" and "sda1.ntfs-img.ab" ...

2. find what compression has been used, gzip, bzip or lzop?

file *.ntfs-img.aa

Windows NTFS partition

3. you will need ntfsclone, install

sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs

4. lets say its gzip (as it probably is), then we need to extract the NTFS image using gzip.

Note: this will take considerable time.

Note: the image will be sized to the original partition-size, unused space included

sudo cat *.ntfs-img.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone --restore-image -o ntfs.img -

5. mount with:

sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-img
sudo mount -o loop -t ntfs ntfs.img /media/ntfs-img

3. you will need partclone

Download deb package:

Install on 64 bit machine with '--force-all':

sudo dpkg -i --force-all partclone-dbg_0.2.42_i386.deb

4. lets say compression is gzip (as it probably is), then we need to extract the image using gzip.

Note: the image will be sized to the original partition-size, unused space included. This can also take quite some time.

sudo cat *.ext4-ptcl-img.* | gzip -d -c | partclone.restore -C -s - -O ext4.img -

5. mount with:

sudo mkdir /media/ext4-img
sudo mount -o loop -t ext4 ext4.img /media/ext4-img
