imagemount(8)

📦 version 0.4.3, in alpine 3.24, nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is imagemount(8) from the System Manager’s Manual, and she is literally a utility to mount an image created by partclone or ntfsclone. main character energy fr fr. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

imagemount -d nbd-dev -f image-file [-c change-file] [-m mount-point [-t mount-type]] [-v verbose] [-DrwTR]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The way that imagemount creates network block devices from images created by partclone(8) and optionally mounts the image on the file system? Obsessed. She’s giving “image? mounted.” No cap. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -d DEVICE — use the specified nbd device as the block device. slay.
  • -f IMAGE-FILE — use the specified file as the source for the image. the source of truth, bestie.
  • -c CHANGE-FILE — use the specified file to store written data. catch those changes.
  • -m MOUNT-POINT — mount the block device on this mount point. home sweet mount point.
  • -t MOUNT-TYPE — mount the block device as this type of file system. type check, but make it filesystem.
  • -i TIMEOUT — set a NBD timeout on the block device. don’t ghost her.
  • -v VERBOSE — select logging level. vibe check for your logs.
  • -D — toggle daemon mode (default on). not me being obsessed with a default that’s already on. iykyk.
  • -r — enable read-only mode. look, don’t touch energy.
  • -w — enable write to image (if change file not specified, then changes are stored in IMAGE-FILE.cf). important fallback, bestie!
  • -T — enable 'tolerant' mode. Try to make the best of what data is present. she’s flexible, no cap.
  • -R — enable raw image mode. Allow file to be treated as a raw imagetop. yes, imagetop — iconic typo energy, we keep it.

🎀 Examples 🎀

Mount image /dir/image using /dev/nbd0 on /mountpoint with type fstype in read-write mode. (Note that changes to the filesystem will be stored in /dir/image.cf)

imagemount -d /dev/nbd0 -f /dir/image -m /mountpoint -t fstype -w

Use image /dir/image as network block device /dev/nbd0 in read-only mode.

imagemount -d /dev/nbd0 -f /dir/image -r
