Automated way to mount/umount a raspberry pi image under linux.
Simply copy the repository to your computer and make the script executable
git clone https://github.com/novamostra/mountpi
sudo chmod +x mountpi/mountpi.sh- Added - List image partitions usign the list flag (-l)
- Added - Mount the boot partition using the boot flag (-b)
- Added - Mount any ext4 partition by specifying it's index (-p)
- Added - Mount all image's partitions using all flag (-a)
- Added - More information during script execution using verbose flag (-v)
- Fixed - Unmounting no longer requires the image name, only the mount directory.
- Fixed - Flags and parameters handling optimization
- Clone the Git Repository
git clone https://github.com/novamostra/mountpi- Add Execution Permission
sudo chmod +x mountpi/mountpi.sh- List image partitions:
sudo ./mountpi -i path/to/raspberry.img -l
- Mount all the partitions of an image to a specified directory:
sudo ./mountpi -i path/to/raspberry.img -m path/to/mnt/directory -a
This command will create in path/to/mnt/directory one subdirectory for each partition. For the boot partition the subdirectory will be named partition_boot while for each ext4 partition an partition_[parition_index] subdirectory will be created.
- To unmount all partitions run:
sudo ./mountpi -u -m path/to/mnt/directory
This will unmount all the partitions and remove the directories.
- Mount only the boot partition:
sudo ./mountpi -i path/to/raspberry.img -m path/to/mnt/directory -b
- Mount a specific ext4 partition:
sudo ./mountpi -i path/to/raspberry.img -m path/to/mnt/directory -p 2
This will mount the second ext4 partition of the image. If -p parameter is omitted then it defaults to 1, so the first ext4 partition will be mounted.
