Other mdconfig query

[balanga]

Running mdconfig on an img file shows me these two partitions

=>    17  246767  md0  MBR  (121M)
      17     495       - free -  (248K)
     512   32768    1  linux-data  [active]  (16M)
   33280     512       - free -  (256K)
   33792  212992    2  linux-data  (104M)

What is the simplest way of copying files from these two partitions to the same directory?

I think you should see md0s1 and md0s2 files in your /dev directory, so basically you need

mount -t xxx /dev/md0s1 /image1
mount -t xxx /dev/md0s2 /image2

and copying content of /image1 and /image2 directory as you see fit. The hard part is determining the correct fs type xxx.
Maybe filesystems/ext2 port could help here, but I did not tried it, so just a guess.

The hard part is determining the correct fs type xxx.

Maybe fstyp(8) can help recognize them.

Good idea! Running

fstyp /dev/md0s1
fstyp /dev/md0s2

should show you that necessary bit for the puzzle.

No need for 3rd party applications. A loadable ext2fs(5) kernel module (“ext2/ext3/ext4 file system”) is available on the system.

You are right - I just tested mounting with '-t ext2fs' argument does everything necessary automagically.
