-o|--loop
A test command. Mounts a file, specified in the -f|--filename option, containing a valid Linux
filesystem, as if it were an Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 archive. The command may be used, for
example, to estimate an image compression level, by comparing the time, necessary for copying
a file from the image, with the time for copying the mounted (non-compressed) file.
trueimagemnt supports the following command options:
-f|--filename archive filename
The image file name. trueimagemnt transparently supports Network File System (NFS) and
Samba network access. To access an NFS network drive, specify the image file name as follows:
nfs://hostname/share name:/remote filename
For example:
trueimagemnt -m /mnt/md1 -f nfs://dhcp6-
223.acronis.com/sdb3/nfs_root:/mike/md1.tib -i 2
mounts /mike/md1.tib archive, located on dhcp6-223.acronis.com node in /sdb3/nfs_root
directory exported by NFS.
To get Samba network access, specify the image file name as follows:
smb://hostname/share name/remote filename
The hostname may be specified with the username and password as:
username:password@hostname, unless the user name or password contains the @ or / symbols.
For example:
trueimagemnt -m /mnt/md1 -f smb://dhcp6-223.acronis.com/sdb3/mike/md1.tib -i 2
mounts /mike/md1.tib archive, located on dhcp6-223.acronis.com node in /sdb3 directory
exported by Samba.
-p|--password password
Specifies the password to explore password protected images.
-t|--fstype filesystem type
Specifies the explicit filesytem type to be passed to the standard "mount" command. This option
is useful if the standard "mount" command can't guess the filesystem type for some reason.
-i|--index partition index
Index of the partition.
-w|--read-write
Opens the image in read-write mode. After umount, all changed data will be saved into the
archive with a new index.
-d|--description archive description
If an image is mounted in read-write mode, the program assumes that the image will be
modified, and creates an incremental archive file to capture the changes. The option enables you
to list the forthcoming changes in the comment to this file.
-k|--keepdev
Keeps the kernel space block device and user space daemon if an error occurs while mounting.
This option may be used to get raw access to imaged partition data.
