Interesting scenario. If the file contains a disk image (with
partition table etc.) than what is actually needed is not a
mount, but convincing the kernel it is a full disk image.
A terrible hack (without coding) that poped up in my head (not-tested)
is to use nbd:
nbd-server 6789 a-disk-file-image &
modprobe nbd
nbd-client 127.0.0.1 6789 /dev/nd0 &
If we are lucky, we have a new block device containing the disk
image -- anyone care to test?
