If you have a disk image with multiple partitions, this type of image is used a lot for the raspberry pi, you can easily mount them using kpartx, you can install kpartx as follows

arch linux / manjaro sudo pacman -S multipath-tools # ubuntu 24.04 sudo apt install kpartx # centos 8 / oracle sudo yum install kpartx Maybe you need to insert the loop module, if so you can do that like this

I few shorts remarks about selinux, more like a reminder for myself Restore directory permissions, exmple authorized keys files that doesn’t work restorecon -R -v ~/.ssh How to temporarily disable selinux, i use this for debugging to see if the problem is selinux echo 0 >/selinux/enforce # or setenforce 0 And to enable them again use echo 1 >/selinux/enforce # or setenforce 1
