[redrum]

Hi, there .

I have a dd img of a CentOS server. I want to mount the image and extract the files for analysis. I have tried am getting errors in CentOS 7 Gnome. Does anyone know a way to do this? I get a loop error... Any other way to see easily an XFS file system.

You'll need to use an offset if you're mounting a single partition from a disk image. What does fdisk -l /path/to/image.img say?

If the disk image has a partition table on it then you need to first use losetup to make that accessible and then kpartx to add mappings for the partitions on /dev/loopX and then you can mount /dev/loopXp1 etc.
