Description

I tried to mount a image of RAW FAT drive in haiku using this tutorial: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Images#Mounting_an_image_on_the_host

-- mount -o loop,offset=32256 freedos-c.img /mnt/freedos --

and found that offset switch are not supported.

btw. trying to mounting this FAT hdd image from tracker by doubleclick not work.

Those are obviously two different problems, besides, Haiku does not have a loop device.

If you could provide a link to the freedos image, someone might have a look at it why it's not correctly identified.

Does "mountvolume freedos-c.img" fail as well?

Image is available here: http://odin.fdos.org/odin2005/ mountvolume works, which is the suitable replacement for the Linux-specific "-o loop,offset" hack. Closing ticket.
