I am trying without success to mount a clean Raspbain Jessie image downloaded directly from raspberrypi.org into my local Linux Mint filesystem:
sudo mount 2016-03-18-raspbian-jessie.img -o offset=62914560 /mnt/rpi/
but this command is returning me:
mount you must specify the filesystem type
I have tried to add -t vfat and -t ext4 without success.
Note: several months ago i did this without problems and without -t parameter in other Linux Mint version.
What i am doing wrong? Thanks.
If you have a raw image file like that, rather than trying to guess the offset of a partition it's easiest just to do this first:
$ sudo losetup -fP --show 2016-03-18-raspbian-jessie.img
/dev/loop1
The -P option to losetup causes it to scan the image for partitions, and create the appropriate devices:
$ ls /dev/loop1*
/dev/loop1 /dev/loop1p1 /dev/loop1p2 /dev/loop1p5
The -f option asks losetup to find a free loop device, and --show asks it to show you the loop device on stdout.
And now you can just mount one of the partitions, e.g.:
$ sudo mount /dev/loop1p1 /mnt
When you're done:
$ sudo umount /mnt
$ sudo losetup -d /dev/loop1
