sudo mount Filesystem.img /home/user/MyFilesystem -o loop
is what I used to solve this problem. Below is info from on the loop device from this answer on Linux Questions for those like me who don't/didn't know.
One further possible type is a mount via the loop device. For example,
the command
mount /tmp/disk.img /mnt -t vfat -o loop=/dev/loop
will set up the loop device /dev/loop3
to correspond to the file
/tmp/disk.img
, and then mount this device on /mnt
.
If no explicit loop device is mentioned (but just an option -o loop' is given), then
mount` will try to find some unused loop device and use
that, for example
mount /tmp/disk.img /mnt -o loop
The mount command automatically creates a loop device from a regular
file if a filesystem type is not specified or the filesystem is known
for libblkid
, for example:
mount /tmp/disk.img /mnt
mount -t ext3 /tmp/disk.img /mnt
This type of mount knows about four options, namely loop, offset, size‐
limit and encryption, that are really options to losetup(8). If the
mount requires a passphrase, you will be prompted for one unless you
specify a file descriptor to read from instead with the --pass-fd
option. (These options can be used in addition to those specific to
the filesystem type.)
Since Linux 2.6.25 auto-destruction of loop devices is supported and
then any loop device allocated by mount will be freed by umount
inde‐
pendently on /etc/mtab
.
You can also free a loop device by hand, using losetup -d' or
umount
-d`.
