I have an img file. I mount it using this command 

mount -o loop,offset=70254592 image/2016-05-10-raspbian-jessie-lite.img /mnt/raspberry-rootfs

But I must do that every time I power up my computer. Is there a method to mount it using the fstab file?

I don't know what to put in the system type. I tried iso9660 and ext4 but this doesn't work. The fdisk -l command gives me this output:

    what is the result of ` mount |grep rapsberry ` when you have mounted manualy ? – Archemar Nov 28 '16 at 10:18
  • @Archemar, it gives ext4 /home/mdababi/Bureau/Tools/image/2016-05-10-raspbian-jessie-lite.img on /mnt/raspberry-rootfs type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) – Dababi Nov 28 '16 at 10:23
  • will it mount if you use ' mount -o loop,offset=70254592 -t ext4 image/2016-05-10-raspbian-jessie-lite.img /mnt/raspberry-rootfs' (please note ` -t ext4 ` ) ? – Archemar Nov 28 '16 at 10:35
  • yes this worked. – Dababi Nov 28 '16 at 10:43

It looks like img is a two part, vfat and ext4.

I would try

/path/to.img /mount/point ext4 loop,offset=70254592 2 0

with

  • /path/to.img being /home/mdababi/Bureau/Tools/image/2016-05-10-raspbian-jessie-‌​lite.img
  • /mount.point /mnt/raspberry-rootfs

depending on your need, you may add read-only (ro) flag as well on fourth field.

edit: replace 0 with 2 in fifth field, thus mount will be tried once all other directories are mounted.

  • unfortunatly, this doesn't work. When i reboot my computer, it enter in emergency mode. – Dababi Nov 28 '16 at 10:50
  • try without loop option. – Archemar Nov 28 '16 at 10:52
  • no it doesn't work. – Dababi Nov 28 '16 at 11:05
  • Don't use parallel mount! Your system uses parallel mount for all devices, so it tries to mount /path/... when /path/... isn't mounted yet. – Ipor Sircer Nov 28 '16 at 11:16
  • @IporSircer , I understand the problem now. I know that the kernel mounts the racine / read only and then starts the init process (SysVinit startup). So when the /path is mounted ? – Dababi Nov 28 '16 at 13:09
