Mount hard drive image in Linux

It's extremely convenient to use a HD image to copy data between your Linux host and the tiny guest. I was able to mount the image with the following commands:


# sudo losetup -o32256 /dev/loop0 ./hd.img
# sudo mount -t vfat /dev/loop0 /mnt/hd/


To unmount:

# sudo umount /dev/loop0
# sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0

OR # sudo kpartx -va ./hd.img
# sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /mnt/hd4/

To unmount
# sudo umount /mnt/hd4/
# sudo kpartx -vd ./hd.img
