Hello. I've got a bzip2-compressed quite big HD image. Is there a way to mount it (read-only) without uncompressing it first? I don't care about performance as I only need to recover a single file. Uncompressing it would probably take days, provided enough space is available (which I'm not sure is the case). The idea would be: _ mdconfig -a -f xxx.img.bz2 _ .... use something over /dev/md0 to get /dev/xxx _ mount /dev/xxxp4 /mnt/tmp. Does such a thing exist? bye & Thanks av.
