I lost a somewhat important file from a software crash in an appvm.
However, '-cow.img' files contain no filesystem, but "binary patch" data, thus can't be mounted or read directly or without their corresponding'.img' files.
These are real disc-image files! There is a filesystem, but it is not in sector 1 :) The trick is to mount it with an offset (see mount command). To get the right offset, fdisk the file (it should have an old-style MBR). If fdisk does not accept files (I forgot), try either cfdisk or simple loop it in a device: losetup /dev/loop42 imagefile.img fdisk -p /dev/loop42 losetup -d /dev/loop42 This gives the starting sector of the partition, that is than handeld over to mount as offset. And then you can grab data. Good luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
