Description
Error Message
Error E0A20066: Mounting of recovery point failed.
Cause
Veritas System Recovery for Linux requires a loop device (/dev/loop#) to mount a recovery point. However, Linux system which has kernel version 3.1 or later doesn't prepare loop devices at boot.
If there is no unused loop device available when mounting a recovery point, the operation will fail with error - E0A20066.
Resolution
This issue can be solved by preparing a loop device before mounting a recovery point. Run "losetup -f" command to prepare a loop device, and then mount a recovery point.
e.g.)
# losetup -f
/dev/loop0
# mount -t v2i sda1recoverypoint.v2i /mnt/image
