Hi, I tried the same process as you did. I got first a failure and then, moving to a different machine and repeating the process, success. first machine (failure) - RedHat Linux 7.1 - kernel 2.4.5 (pretty fancy optioned) - fileutils 4.0.36 - mount-2.11b second machine (success) - RedHat Linux 7.2 - kernel 2.4.8 - fileutils 4.1 - mount-2.11g trying mount -o loop image.dd /mountpoint -vv I get: mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop3 set_loop(/dev/loop3,ttt/image2.dd,0): success mount: setup loop device successfully EXT2-fs: loop(7,3): couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (4).del_loop(/dev/loop3): success mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop3, or too many mounted file systems so loop is no problem, i suppose that either defaults option of mount are a problem or dd. -- Eugen Cocalea || eugenat_private ex - Network Administrator @ isratech.ro|| Phone: +40 232 219992 Cell: +40 723 605070 On Dec 27, 2002, 1:59pm, Susan Chan Lee wrote: |SCL|Hi All |SCL| |SCL|Having some problems mounting a filesystem which I imaged using dd for |SCL|forensic testing.
