Hi tripolar.
I didn't read your first mail, but I'm assuming you used 'dd' to bkp the
fs, is that it?
So far I can see, you can't mount it because the bkp is corrupted. I
found this same error on a similar case, where the fs was XFS.

I backed up a 72Gig partition from a failing harddrive into an image

How can I mount that image file in a loopback ( ? ) device? mount -o loop
Any help would be appreciated
First you could create a mount point, for example:
# mkdir /media/images
or you could use too /media/floppy or /media/cdrom, but it is better
to have different mountpoints. Next:
# mount -o ro,loop,nodev,noexec,noatime /path/to/file.img /media/images
You could use other options with -o, check the man of mount : )
Cheers,
Sergio
Thanks
I still havent been able to mount it. again I get an "error 990"
I posted a detailed message on Saturday about my problem. I will repost
it and hopefully with more details someone can help me out.
Thanks again
