I have a full disk image file (courtesy of ddrescue), and need to mount

be able to use the system where I did it for several weeks, so I'd love
to be able to mount just the partition from the image I have).
Piece of cake!
kpartx -a -v /path/to/image/file
Now you'll have devices in /dev/mapper corresponding to the partitions
in the image. Run "kpartx -d -v /path/to/image/file" when you are done
(after unmounting any of the partitions, of course).
