[Netkit.users] Simple question

[Fabio Ricci]

Hi Gianni,
you can mount a netkit filesystem on loop device but you have to specify
an offset like this

#mount netkit-fs /mnt/  -o loop=/dev/loop4,offset=16384

#mount
/home/fabio/netkit2/fs/netkit-fs-F2.2 on /mnt type ext2
(rw,loop=/dev/loop4,offset=16384)

that's because there is one partition in the file so you have to look for
the begin of the disk from the byte 16384

have a good time with netkit
greetings
Fabio
