I signed up to these forums just to thank you guys for helping me fix an issue. My home lost power this morning while I was sleeping (6/26/2022). All VM's and containers save for one, came up without issue. It just figures that the one that didn't, was the only one I hadn't backed up and the one with data I really didn't want to lose. Thankfully, I was able to use the info above to fix the errors and now that container is up once again. And yes, I am going to back it up after I write this message!
 
Thanks helped !!!!

losetup /dev/loop22 disk-drive-ide0.raw
partx -v --add /dev/loop22
mount /dev/loop22p1 /mnt/123

thx alot! it helped me out too

but there is a shorter way to loop all block-device partitions as `man losetup` says:

Bash:
losetup --partscan /dev/loop22 disk-drive-ide0.raw 
mount /dev/loop22p1 /mnt/123

so it is --partscan or -P key
