[gentoo-user] how to mount a partition image created with dd?

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

I've used the gentoo livecd to boot a machine with a damaged hard drive, and created a
partition image in a remote machine with the following command

dd if=/dev/vg/home bs=1k conv=sync,noerror | ssh -c blowfish ***@hostname "dd of=/scratch/home.img bs=1k"

the original partition is under LVM. I have hopes to be able to extract useful data
from the image but I do not know how to mount it. Does anyone know how exactly I
can mount the home.img file?

Thanks,

Thank you.

I was able to recover ALL the data from the failed hard drive.
