| Dec 20, 2022 at 14:13 | comment | added | grawity_u1686 | It's a 2011 addition, although I was wrong about "partition support" as it turns out the exact same commit also made it possible for partprobe etc. to manually add partitions even without kernel partition scanning being enabled. | |

Added info about `--partscan`

You need to use losetup --partscan to activate partition support for a loop device. It's not enabled by default.

Like I wrote: You may have to run partprobe. Also do make sure it’s the correct partition!

Thanks for replying! However, after selecting the correct device and partition, I'm getting mount: /mnt/ubuntu: special device /dev/loop3p3 does not exist.. Any idea what might be the issue?
