title: Mounting Raw Disk Image File in Nautilus
body: <p>I'm running Ubuntu 10.10.  As part of SD card creation, I have a script that successfully creates a raw disk image file, correctly formatted with an ext2 file system. I have built SD cards from the raw disk image file with dd.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I'd like to mount it and browse the files using Nautilus.</p>
  
  <p>I know I can use <strong>mount -o,loop</strong> to mount it to a mount point. I would like to get it mounted by gnome to an automatically created /media/xxx mount point. I have used <strong>partprobe /dev/loopn</strong> to get the file noticed. It appears in my Places menu and if I select it from there, nautilus opens the disk, just fine.</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to do is get my script to kick nautilus so its file browser window opens the image file's root without having to select it from the Places menu.</p>
