imagemounter 3.1.0

Example

A very basic example of a valid mount is as follows. The command-line utility has much more features, but results vary wildly depending on the exact type of disk you are trying to mount:

# imount lvm_containing_dos_volumesystem_containing_ext4
[+] Mounting image lvm_containing_dos_volumesystem_containing_ext4 using auto...
[+] Mounted raw image [1/1]
[+] Mounted volume 2.0 GiB 4.0.2:Ext4 / [Linux] on /tmp/im_4.0.2_8l86mZ.
>>> Press [enter] to unmount the volume, or ^C to keep mounted...
[+] Parsed all volumes!
[+] Analysis complete, unmounting...
[+] All cleaned up

If you want to see for yourself, you could try executing imount /dev/sda first.
