How to Mount Raspberry Pi OS Disk Image ( Raspbian .img file ) in Linux to View and Edit File System

Here's how to mount Raspberry Pi's Operating System Disk Image ( Raspbian .img file ) in Linux to view and edit the file system.

You can mount the .img file (large file) like a hard drive or flash drive or CDROM in Linux.
Then you can mount it and change the filesystem and save it back to the image file.

You can even view the partitions. In fact there are two partitions in the downloaded image file. A FAT32 and a Linux partition.

when you unmount a disk, it will sync. To be sure, you can eject a disk with the 'eject' command.

Hi Leefiles,
Thank you for you video.
.. just one note:
not like the first step (making two *.txt files), you didn't do the "sync" command during the second step (deleting two *.txt files) after "remove" command and before to "umount" the img... Even if this action (I suppose.. and pls correct me if I'm wrong) has totally avoided, the IMG result "syncronized" anyway..
.. So, it'seem that your Linux box have done "sync" in hidden mode (?!!) Does it possible ?.
Thank you

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
