+ <para>Note that the partition table shown when invoked without command switch (as listed below) does not

+ considered part of an OS disk image. Specifically, partitions of unknown types are ignored, as well as
+ duplicate partitions (i.e. more than one per partition type), as are root and <filename>/usr/</filename>
+ partitions of architectures not compatible with the local system. In other words: this tool will display
+ what it operates with when mounting the image. To display the complete list of partitions use a tool such
