Just a comment on these lines...
Instead of using losetup
followed by kpartx
, you can just tell losetup
to create devices for each partition using the -P
(--partscan
) flag. That is, if you do this:
$ sudo losetup -fP --show 2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch-lite.img
/dev/loop0
You get the following devices:
$ ls /dev/loop0*
/dev/loop0 /dev/loop0p1 /dev/loop0p2
So your code becomes a little simpler:
LOOP=`losetup -fP --show $DEST/ClusterHAT-$VER-lite-$REV-controller.img`
mount ${LOOP}p2 $MNT
mount ${LOOP}p1 $MNT/boot
