Make sure to only use a copied image to test. Thanks for your advice. I will try the tools. I also found the article about how to create and mount image. https://midnightprogrammer.net/post/create-mount-and-unmount-img-files-in-ubuntu/ The article says, the image file created by dd should formated in ubuntu. For Centos, should I format the image file before mounting it as virtual read-only disk? Thanks!
