Last I looked (years ago) the UFS support on linux was not actively maintained and I would be very surprised if they have UFS2 support. I've had to create my own root images for doing work on xen so I know it works just fine. If you insist on doing it on Linux, the command is losetup. to bind: > losetup /dev/loop0 <root image> to unbind: > losetup -d /dev/loop0 -Kip
